The CIOB is hosting a free live webinar on Dyslexia in the Construction Industry on 6 October. Member Luke Birkett has campaigned to raise the issue based on his own experience. 

The webinar will start with an introduction from the BDA, which will explain what dyslexia is, signs of dyslexia and how to support dyslexic employees or colleagues.

Three CIOB members with dyslexia – Luke Birkett, James Nolan and Kirsty Ainsworth – will then share their experiences and talk about having a successful career in the construction industry despite having dyslexia, the challenges they have faced and how they have overcome any obstacles.
