The Smart-Pumps and SKILLSAFE-EU joint webinar, hosted by the European Heat Pump Association on May 21st, is now behind us, and it delivered exactly what it promised: a focused, forward-looking discussion on closing the skills gap in the heat pump sector.

With over 500,000 trained professionals needed by 2030 to meet EU targets, the session highlighted how a skilled workforce is essential to accelerating the deployment of heat pumps and achieving Europe’s climate goals.

Smart-Pumps and SKILLSAFE-EU are tackling this challenge from different but complementary angles: advancing smart, sustainable design and manufacturing on one side, and developing practical, safety-focused training frameworks on the other.

If you missed the session or want to revisit it, the full recording and presentation materials are now available in the Resources section.

We look forward to continuing this collaboration and contributing to a stronger, more resilient European energy workforce.
