Training Partnerships
A Training Partnership is a joint venture between a company and the CIOB with the common aim of having a fully chartered workforce. It provides unique support for an organisation’s long-term learning and development strategies with the aim of helping all relevant employees become Chartered. Chartered Building Companies and Consultancies are encouraged to enrol onto a Training Partnership scheme as part of their commitment to personal development. However, the scheme is also open to non-chartered organisations.

Training Partnerships
Training Partnerships are a free service that CIOB offers to built environment organisations. Forming a joint venture with the company, CIOB creates a bespoke training, learning and development plan for the staff, paving the way towards a fully Chartered workforce.

Tomorrow's Leaders
Tomorrow's Leaders is designed to support CIOB members in developing their leadership potential while encouraging others. The community gives members access to tailored learning and the opportunity to build a supportive network.
