• Trained tradespeople are available to meet the current and future needs of insulation contractors. These tradespeople are familiar with current practices and products and have the appropriate level of knowledge of building science.

• A trades designation and/or certification is available for trained tradespeople, both to encourage them to take essential training for their career development, and so contractors will be able to identify them when hiring.

• Trade-specific training is available on an ongoing basis so that new people can enter the trade and get the needed training and trade designation as quickly as possible. Ongoing training is also available to ensure tradespeople can keep current on new practices and products.

• Trades training is available to people in demographics that have been under-represented in the trades, and should include English language training for those who need it. Special outreach is carried out to attract women, who have not traditionally participated in the trades in large numbers.

• Home renovation (including insulation) trades are promoted as attractive career choices in secondary schools, vocational schools, and technical institutions. People realize that well-trained tradespeople in the home renovation industry can have well-paid careers, ones that are not substantially subject to "off-shoring," automation, or robotics. They can also contribute to reducing GHG emissions and construction waste.

• Contractors within the industry provide support to employees who wish to take training to improve their skills.

• Funding is available to determine trade-specific training needs, develop the required training, and ensure the training is available.
