CIC Coaching Scheme

CIC Coaching Scheme is a volunteer programme that aims to raise awareness of the wide variety of career opportunities in the Built Environment Sector by giving children the chance to find out about careers directly from respected local professionals. The aims of the scheme are to:

• Address the skills gaps in the professional disciplines
• Raise aspirations amongst young people

The scheme is free to secondary schools and enables volunteers from the professions to run monthly sessions over one academic year.

Following pilot programmes at Eastlea and Royal Docks Community Schools in Newham, the initiative is currently being run at new schools in Southwark and Manchester. As part of the scheme students gain valuable hands-on knowledge of the built environment and are taken on an external visit which provides them with further insight into the industry.

For further information on the scheme please contact Danna Walker, Project Manager (Skills) at dwalker@cic.org.uk , 020 7399 7404 (direct line) or 0207 399 7400 (main office number).
