The Next Generation of
Coloured Frames
A shortage of problem-solving skills in
the construction industry is preventing
professionals from advancing within
their careers, prompting a new
initiative between Birmingham City
University and Mott MacDonald Ltd.
Starting in September, the
University and the global
engineering, management and
development consultants are
pioneering a new approach
to develop the ‘softer skills’
considered to be in short
supply across the construction
industry.
Birmingham City University’s
Professor Nick Morton said:
“Students securing places at
the University’s School of the
Built Environment will have
the opportunity to gain direct
experience of both construction
and people skills with Mott
MacDonald in Birmingham’s
projects around the UK. The
construction industry needs
problem solvers with the skills
to enable them to develop
the talents of others and to
recognise their own strengths
for future opportunities.”
Students at BCU’s School of
the Built Environment will also
have chance to take part in a
major international construction
competition hosted by the
University. Mott MacDonald
will sponsor the event.
