Project Initiative

Scottish Building Federation, CECA and Monitor Build for the Future

Scottish Building Federation and CECA has responded to research that shows that the Scottish construction industry in its present phase of growth needs to improve the project management skills of its managers. Contributing more than 8% of the UK's GDP and employing 2.1 million people (or 1 in 14 of the total UK workforce), the construction industry is the UK's biggest employer.

ConstructionSkills which helps the industry in all aspects of recruiting, training and qualifying the construction workforce has fully supported an initiative to increase the competency of managers in the sector and 2007 will see the push for competence based Project Management training courses to be offered to the sector and leading to the internationally recognised awards of The Association for Project Management.

Project Management training specialists, Monitor who already provide project training and software solutions in UK and abroad have partnered with Scottish Building Federation to deliver programmes across the country at times and venues to suit managers attending. This is the first time that both organisations have come together to offer such a dedicated programme of training to suit the needs of the sector.

The construction sector will be able to access project management courses at different levels to suit existing skills, giving managers the chance to achieve an internationally recognised qualification and the industry the opportunity to benchmark itself against other sectors that use competence based project management training to develop their staff.

The pilot for this programme took place on 5-6 June 2007 at Scottish Building Federation in Stenhousemuir with feedback from the first 10 attendees proving very encouaging.  For future dates please see the our Course Schedule 2007/08 on the main menu or talk to the Project Team.
