[edit] Background
On 7 November 2016, CIOB (the Chartered Institute of Building) announced the launch of their new Academy to deliver 'real-world' practical courses for the industry.
The Academy was officially launched at a reception at the Gherkin in London on 12 December to significantly increase CIOB’s training provision. It is primarily intended to help people become chartered, but it will also help people improve overall skills and move up through the industry.
Courses cover a wide range of subjects to suit different roles and levels, including; becoming a certified specialist in low-carbon and green construction, understanding BIM and big data, and developing skills to become a future leader in management and business strategy.
[edit] Academy principles
The Academy:
- Believes in helping individuals realise their potential in the construction industry by nurturing the right practical skills and attitudes needed for an industry that’s becoming increasingly sophisticated, efficient and technologically advanced.
- Cares deeply about making absolutely clear the next steps that people need to take in order to take their careers forward at whatever stage they are at whether that’s as a certified specialist in low-carbon and green construction, BIM & big data, conservation or as a future leader in management and business strategy.
- Has an ambition to connect learners with funding, mentors and employment to ensure they find the outcomes they seek from learning.
- Encourages collaboration with organisations in order to create efficiencies in practice-based training and development.
- Is committed to providing effective solutions to help people succeed in the construction industry, reinforced by free and continual professional development, encouraging involvement in networks and providing access to relevant knowledge.
- Will show the world that construction managers who have come through the Academy are a talented and diverse workforce who make a real and positive difference to global challenges in the built environment.
