A message from the CIAT ROI Centre Committee Chair - an exciting year ahead for architectural technologists!

🚨 Calling all industry contacts 🚨 I am currently preparing for Semester 2 and keen to hear from industry practitioners who would be interesting in contributing to Revit workshop/s, sharing your knowledge, experience and good practice in model authoring in Revit. If this would be of interest please let me know. ✨This worked fantastically well last year and really enriched the sessions, so I would like to continue building the momentum ✨

The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science together with BuildingHeroesIrl have produced a documentary to promote the vast range of Careers in Construction. The aim is to dispel perceptions of the sector, show what a career in construction is really like, and attract young people into the sector. Please share the documentaries with the young people in your life.

📢 Fair public procurement opportunities for Chartered Architectural Technologists CIAT is advocating for fairer public sector procurement processes to ensure all competent professionals, regardless of title, can tender for work on a level playing field. We know some Chartered Architectural Technologists have been excluded from tendering due to title-based restrictions, limiting competition and opportunities. To understand the extent of this issue, CIAT is conducting a public sector procurement survey up to 29 January 2025. 📝 Take part here: https://lnkd.in/ejhtBjjq Your input is essential—whether or not you regularly bid for public projects.
