Join us on Thursday 5th December to hear from Andrew Johnson, Associate and Training Lead at Okana, at our upcoming micro-conference 'Skills & Training - Mind the Digital Skills Gap'. Andrew brings a wealth of knowledge on digital transformation, training, and strategic implementation of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to high-profile global clients. A former senior soldier with the Corps of Royal Engineers, Andrew combines military discipline with an MSc in Engineering Management, where his thesis focused on the cultural shift needed to implement BIM in UK construction. The construction industry is in urgent need of innovative solutions to close the skills gap. In his session entitled 'Bridging the Gap', Andrew will explore how AI can revolutionise construction education by creating tailored learning experiences, enabling real-time skill assessments, and facilitating seamless on-site integration. This session will showcase practical case studies and highlight the power of collaboration between academia, industry, and tech providers to shape a future-ready workforce.
