Chartered Institute of Building - Female Graduates into
Construction
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), in
conjunction with the Construction Youth Trust, Anglia
Ruskin University, the University of Central Lancashire
and the College of Estate Management has launched
'Female Graduates into Construction', supported by
funding from the ConstructionSkills 'Women into Work'
project.
The aim of the project is to promote the role of female
managers in construction, match graduates to employers
for recruitment as graduate trainees and provide
structured training in partnership with employers and
partner universities; leading to professional membership
with the CIOB and sustainable professional employment.
The project will aim to support 50 female graduates by
March 31, 2008.
Chris Hughes, Chair of the CIOB's graduate Diploma
Programme Management Committee, said "Breaking down the
barriers for women with the potential for successful
careers in construction must be a high priority for the
industry in the 21st century. This project will make a
significant contribution to that ambition."
The training will be conducted through the employers'
own training schemes and through the CIOB's Graduate
Diploma Programme for non-cognate graduates or other
appropriate training leading to Chartered membership of
the CIOB. In the case of the non-cognate entrants,
training will be undertaken over a period of three years
on either a week-release or distance learning basis.
Mentoring will also be provided through the employers
and also through the three female students who completed
the Graduate Diploma Programme as part of the first
cohort in 2007.
