Summary
Andy Cam and Todd Glister look into the rise in big companies getting their engineers trained up in renewables. But - does this make it harder for the SME and sole trader to find work? Andy and Todd talk to Ian Edgeworth about his experiences training engineers who work for Octopus Energy as well as sole traders. John Cruickshank talks about how much he's found himself in demand since getting trained up and how it's created a need for him to take on more people and grow his business. Todd is on the fence, He's trained, he's completed an install in his own home but there's certain aspects of taking on the work that he's struggling with.
