BESA training aims to inspire future generations
Posted: Friday, September 13th, 2024
The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has launched a training programme to help building services firms work more closely with schools and inspire future generations of building services engineers. The BESA School Engagement and Engineering Discovery (SEED) Programme is fully funded by the Association and was developed by the school engagement specialists Built Environment Skills in Schools (BESS), which has worked with more than 4,000 schools across the UK. The 12-week programme is designed to give engineers and business owners the skills and knowledge to engage effectively with their local schools and promote career opportunities in the building services industry. The training will be delivered in three tranches: eight places available on the September intake, eight more in January 2025, and a third cohort setting out on their engagement journey in April. Full details can be found here. BESA members regularly cite long-term skills shortages as the biggest challenge to their businesses, and this new fully funded scheme is part of the Association’s response. Members will now have the chance to work with experienced educators to gain insights into engaging schoolchildren's interests and inspiring them to want to work in a sector that can make a massive difference to major social issues like climate change, air quality, and health and well-being.
