CIOB’s Student Festival, now in its third year, will take place on 8-9 March 2023.
The two-day event will take place in one virtual space for all CIOB student members around the globe. The purpose is to inspire, inform and celebrate CIOB student members, who can expect to take away meaningful messages from a diverse community of CIOB members.
This will allow them to benefit from technical and practical insights, professional views and personal wisdom for their future careers.
The festival will include:
- industry leaders – thoughts and opinions from leaders in the sector;
- global careers – a spotlight on career perspectives from global organisations in all areas of construction;
- learning essentials – student takeaways from dissertation tips to finding your next job;
- Tomorrow’s Leaders – views from our early career and future leaders; and
- networking – making new professional contacts worldwide.
‘Fantastic experience’
Tomorrow’s Leaders champion Giovanni Bortolin, a master’s student at UCL, attended last year’s festival as an undergraduate. “This was a fantastic experience. It was nice to see many like-minded student members with a passion for the built environment and interesting to hear the opinion of industry professionals on the role of graduates and students in the industry,” he said. “As I was in the last year of my bachelor’s degree, I found really useful tips for my dissertation too.
“The festival also offers the opportunity to have a Q&A with the speakers. I was pretty interested in the questions raised by other students and the well-answered reflections the speakers gave.
“I would highly suggest to other students to participate in the CIOB Student Festival 2023 to feel more motivated and passionate about the possibilities in the industry at the end of their studies. Also, the knowledge obtained can help students to make more informed decisions and to enrich their current studies.”
