Scholarships

Though scholarships are awarded to individuals, many of them bring benefit to the organisations they work for, with the aim of providing encouragement and support for those companies in developing their people and encouraging innovation in the company.

Young People & Construction

The CIOB is engaging with young people in many different ways: through competitions, resources for games like Minecraft which develop construction skills and many more. There are numerous ways to get young people interested in construction.
