Four student teams are gearing up for the CIOB in Ireland Student Challenge this month. They will face the challenge of a three-hour window to analyse a real-world brief, develop a comprehensive bid submission report and present their insights and solutions to an expert panel of judges.
The Student Challenge will take place alongside the CIOB Construction Conference at Dundalk Institute of Technology on 27 February.
It offers the opportunity for industry professionals to connect with the upcoming generation of construction talent and key stakeholders in the industry.
The conference will include keynote talks from CIOB staff about membership pathways, company memberships and policy, and public affairs – and from industry professionals covering the latest trends, challenges and innovations from different sectors.
CIOB has replaced its longstanding Global Student Challenge with local competitions, which some hubs already run.
This allows greater levels of student engagement at a local hub level and with local employers, to support students in taking their first steps into the industry.
To enable fully accessible competitions to be run all over the world and at different times of the year, CIOB has created a toolkit to support staff, members and Tomorrow’s Leaders Champions to deliver newly branded Tomorrow’s Leaders Student Challenges. For more information, contact your local hub.
