Working in partnership with employers for PICBE
Working with CBRE a Forces Employment Charity Gold Sponsor and in Partnership with Buildforce, the event will be welcoming additional employers to PICBE, some of whom will be part of the discussion panels and all of whom will have a presence throughout the day, giving you time to network with each. There will be company representatives on hand to advise on apprenticeships, relevant qualifications and how to translate your skills to land a role within these sectors. Many of whom will be veterans themselves and keen to offer tips and advice on how to apply for roles within the construction and facilities management sectors.
Living outside of London?
The Forces Employment Charity will be holding a regional networking event, following the main conference which will allow you to engage with many different employers from across the sector; all of whom have a presence outside of London. Details of this event will be launched very soon.
