BACH Construction Heads sharing their collective knowledge

1 member free – BACH Autumn Development Day 2018

Wednesday 21 November 2018 is the BACH  Autumn Development Day CPD in the West Midlands.

NEC has decided that for every fully paid up member organisation they will issue 1 free place and another at a discounted rate.  These places are to be used by Named members.

HOLD THE DATE  – you would not want to miss this event.

The event will cover the main subjects that create challenges for members.  This is your opportunity to suggest presenters and subjects.  Please, email them to bu*************@*****ac.uk.

In contrast to the Spring Conference, many of the presenters will be BACH members, sharing their practical experience of meeting the challenges facing everyone heading up a Team of Lecturers teaching Construction today.  Never has the need been greater for quality trained UK construction workers.  The Government has a raft of policies aimed at tackling the shortages today and the expected increase in the requirement of UK construction workers after Brexit.  With major construction projects at a level never seen in the UK, BACH Members are 1 of the keys to successful completion of these.  The mix of new build includes Hickley Power Station, Aykon London One,  Angel Meadows Manchester and Chelsea Football Stadium to name but a few.  The refurbishment of Shopping Centres, Railway Stations to the really massive modernisation of The Big Ben and Palace of Westminster and Buckingham Place.  Road and rail projects include HS2 and the building of the £1.5B A14/A1 road improvement.  For more information see 10 Construction Projects to watch.

However, the above are not the only challenges to those recruiting construction workers in the UK.  The house building programme is failing to meet the demand year after year, and many construction workers will start their career in this sector after completing a successful apprenticeship, most taught in Colleges that are BACH members.

If you Head up a Team of people teaching construction, then put Wed 21 Nov 2018 on your calendar now.  Need more information or to join ia***@*****ac.uk

Gemma Taylor thanks BACH members for their interest in STEM

Gemma discussed professional development nationwide and BACH Members were impressed to hear that there are 30,000 STEM Ambassadors from more than 2,500 employers.

It is important that every college looks at its training of the future Construction Heads

T Level comments from ‘Table discussion’ at the BACH National Annual Conference 12 March 2108

T Level comments from ‘Table discussion’

More questions than answers on T levels.  Good on paper, but the detail is required and different T Level groups are going do different routes.

Work Experience is a challenge.  To be covered Tuesday 13 March.

How can you decide what you are offering until the funding is decided?

Level 3 but so much seems to be level 2.  Should we be talking about Standards rather than Levels?

Access the experienced people to deliver the Standards, will be a challenge.  Are the facilities in FE colleges of the size and equipped to deliver the new Standards?

Overall there are differing views on how T Levels are developing.  Join BACH Development Day 21 November 2018 in the Midlands for the next BACH update.
