France selects CAP PAC 2030 project to support heat pump sector skills

AFPAC has welcomed the selection of the CAP PAC 2030 project, led by the Campus des Métiers et Qualifications d’Excellence (CMQ) Énergie Durable, under the "Compétences et Métiers d’Avenir" call for projects from the France 2030 investment plan.

The initiative aims to address a major challenge in the energy transition: upskilling professionals in the heat pump sector, which plays a central role in decarbonising residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

AFPAC, which is involved in training, qualification, and workforce development for heat pump technologies, contributed to the collective response with various partners to meet the sector’s growing needs.

The association acknowledged the efforts of Bruno Darracq from Université Paris-Saclay and all partners involved in the project, describing it as a key step in supporting professionalisation and improving the attractiveness of heat pump careers.

AFPAC stated it will continue to contribute to the operational implementation of the project in support of the sector, local areas, and the broader energy transition.
