greenworkx has built an app and digital pathway aimed at increasing the flow of skilled workers into green jobs, with a focus on domestic retrofit roles. The soft-launched product offers bite-sized learning and algorithmic matching to connect jobseekers with relevant opportunities. The team is currently running a free introductory retrofit course and has about 40 early learners signed up. Co-founders Mat Ilic and Richard Ng draw on backgrounds in public policy, education and edtech to design the learning and recruitment funnel. Future plans include automating matching at scale, expanding training content through partners or employers, running digital marketing and a possible travelling green jobs roadshow, and serving B2B customers such as housing associations and construction firms. The startup’s stated mission is to get 10 million people into green jobs over 10 years.
