What's mapped, what's missing, and what's next.

Fourteen green roles in Gloucestershire, at every level from 2 to 7. One pillar has been researched to full depth. The rest of the structure is here and honest about what it doesn't yet hold.

Coverage grid: roles by level

  • Mapped: researched, real courses attached
  • No provision found: researched, the county has nothing at this level
  • Not yet mapped: not researched in this prototype
Each row is a role. Each column is a qualification level. Cells say whether courses were found, whether none exist in the county, or whether the level has not been researched.

Level 5 is empty across all 5 mapped retrofit roles. Gloucestershire has committed to a Retrofit Centre of Excellence and to training 200 retrofit coordinators by 2029, but no Level 5 retrofit coordination provision has been mapped anywhere in the county. Retrofit Coordinator is a Level 5 role under PAS 2035, and grant-funded programmes including the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund cannot proceed without one.

5 of 14 roles mapped from 22 verified courses, compiled 14 September 2026. Hatched cells are not yet researched. Outlined cells were researched and no county provision was found.

Gloucestershire Skills Gap Analysis

The dense block is retrofit: the pillar the county has already committed to through the Retrofit Centre of Excellence. Everything around it is structure without data yet.

The outlined cells are the commissioning question: someone looked, and the county has nothing. The hatched cells are only an admission that the research stops here.
