Engineering Your Future - ECITB Career Progression Route Map

12/04/2010

ECITB is working hard to encourage more people to join the sector and to retain skilled people by developing careers in Engineering Construction. As part of this essential initiative we are building an innovative and dynamic on-line application entitled ‘Engineering Your Future’ to showcase roles, career options and progression in the sector. It is being professionally developed and will be widely publicised. It is an interrogative tool that is aimed at a wide variety of users from school/college leavers right through the spectrum to seasoned professionals across Craft, Technical, Generalist and Management positions.

This project fits in the wider remit of the Vocational Qualifications Reform Programme and the output is one of the actions from ECITB's Qualification Strategy Action Plan - to show clearer progression routes through the industry. The Qualifications Strategy Action Plan for Engineering Construction identifies several outcomes that will help achieve the objective of ensuring sufficient and appropriately skilled people are both attracted to and retained within the industry to satisfy a substantially increasing workload. The project also aligns with recommendations from the recently published Gibson Review.

This exciting project is currently under development with the IT infrastructure complete. Job descriptions, images and video are all being sourced for input and the project is expected to ‘go live’ in May 2010. If you’d like more information or to be involved with this exciting new project, please email the Project Manager, Gill Lea on GillLea@ecitb.org.uk. . We’d be particularly interested in hearing from you if you are an ECITB in-scope company and would like to feature some of your people on the site (images/video) or would like to provide feedback on the site before the general release.
