Young Construction Industry professionals urged to share their views on the future of the sector
The Construction Industry Council (CIC) 2050 Group is calling for young professionals within the construction industry to share what they would like the industry to look like in 2050 by taking a short survey.
The 2050 Group, CIC's young professionals group, represents those in the industry who are at the start of their careers to ensure the link between young professionals and the leadership of the industry. Group members represent a range of disciplines from across the built environment, giving their time on behalf of the different professional institution members of CIC they represent.
The young professionals in construction survey 2021 is being conducted to determine a vision of the future of the construction industry, and to discover the steps that need to be taken to get there. The results of the survey will inform the direction of the 2050 Group's work going forward to ensure a focus on topics of importance to those that the group represents.
Will Arnold, CIC 2050 Group Chair said, "This survey is a fantastic opportunity for young professionals to share what's important to them when setting the future direction of the industry. The 2050 Group acts as a conduit between the current and future leaders of the profession, and we intend to use the survey results to set a vision for our work over the next two years."
Young professionals are encouraged to complete the survey and hare it with their peers so the group can get a wide ranging response to this pertinent topic.
