We are delighted to be the first Wales-based contractor to offer an accredited work based further learning scheme.
We have been granted accreditation for our in house graduate development programme by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) after launching the course in October 2006.
We are keen to provide our graduate civil engineers with a structured development programme that allows them an early introduction to a range of construction techniques and underlying engineering principles that they would normally only be exposed to after a decade or so of working in the sector.
The programme meets the additional educational requirements necessary to bridge the gap between an accredited B Eng (Hons) degree and an accredited M Eng degree.
Russell Evans, Supervising Engineer, said: “Many of the graduates we employ are keen to continue with their professional development when they join us. We decided to set up a structured development programme to provide them with the practical exposure to civil engineering techniques at a much earlier stage in their careers than they would normally expect”.
“We had to submit a formal application to the ICE who examined our learning programme to ensure we met their teaching standards. This course allows our graduates to translate the academic knowledge gained through their degrees into practical engineering processes that are applied day to day in the construction industry.
Mr Evans added: “Being awarded ICE accreditation has attracted considerable attention from the graduates recently qualifying which we are delighted with. In addition it ensures we will have a succession of highly competent engineers who can take the organisation forward in the future.”
