In this episode of Isolert sett, we have had the pleasure of talking to Birger Susort, board member of Isoleringsforum and an advocate for the development of technical insulation as a profession. Birger gives us a unique insight into how competitions such as the National and European Championships in technical insulation lift the profession and inspire the talents of the future.
Future talent and the challenges facing the industry
Birger shares his thoughts on how the industry can become more attractive to young people, while highlighting the importance of recognising technical insulation as a separate business. We also discuss:
- Recruitment and how competitions create engagement among young people.
- The need for increased focus on career development and opportunities in the industry.
Sustainability and the green shift
Towards the end of the episode, we look at the industry's role in the green shift, with an emphasis on sustainability, energy saving and the Insulation Forum's work at European level through FESI (European Federation of Associations of Insulation Contractors). Birger highlights how the insulation industry can help reduce energy use and promote sustainable solutions.
This episode is full of inspiration and insight, whether you're new to the industry or a seasoned player looking to understand where technical insulation is heading.
