ARTICLE OF THE WEEK
CITB is developing a new digital service featuring work experience opportunities on local construction sites as part of a drive to link candidates with employers. Although not BIM specific, seeing the CITB invest in an information portal for careers in construction bodes well for our BIM Graduate shop window project. For more information on that, please email mike@dbe.careers
