BUILDING SKILLS TO MEET SECTOR CHALLENGES
ACE members are invited to attend this virtual event hosted by Heriot-Watt University to find out how they can help you develop your workforce to meet the key challenges facing construction & infrastructure.
In the live webinar you’ll hear from Rod MacDonald OBE (RAE Visiting Professor, Holistic Civil Engineering, Heriot-Watt) who will give an overview of the key challenges facing the sector, such as climate change and sustainability.
You’ll also hear from Dr Laurent Galbrun and Dr Graeme Bowles, programme directors for Heriot-Watt’s Civil Engineering (CE) and Construction and the Built Environment (CBE) Graduate Apprenticeships programmes.
