Thursday, 29 April 2021, 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Join us for the public launch of our new Digital topic area in the School; a suite of learning materials, including workshops, e-learning modules and online resources to help you embed digital technology in your business.
Digital technology has the potential to transform construction – but only if the sector is equipped with the right skills and knowledge. Modern technologies can raise productivity, increase efficiency, improve quality and safety, reduce our sustainability impacts and help attract people to the sector.
Drawing upon arguably the UK’s leading digital infrastructure project, Tideway, and using best practice from Costain, Skanska and other main infrastructure contractors, the CITB funded “Downloading a Digital Mindset” project will provide leaders with a blend of digital leadership training to equip them with the skills and technology knowledge needed to embed a digital approach into business strategy.
