Helping Graduates Gain Work Experience-

‘The Pledge’

Stephen Gee of John Rowan and Alex Ellis of Carmague

Stephen Gee, Managing Partner John Rowan & PartnersThe Pledge

23rd March 2011

A presentation to: CIC

• To ensure existing and new, young talent continues to enter into the sector

• To break the skills shortage cycle• To provide current and future graduates with a gateway to a long-

term career path• To protect the industry from other sectors• Ensure there is adequate talent in the sector when there is an

upturn• Raise awareness of the issue

Pledge objectives

Why it was created...

• Our research suggested that the provision of 6,000 internships (in technical & professional roles) per annum, would help to protect UK talent and break the cycle

• In the year to August 2009 over 170,000 redundancies had been made in the construction industry making it difficult for firms to hire graduates

• The industry needed a structured programme to help graduates and the sector to secure a sustainable source of talent entering into the sector and pursuing a career

The answer?• We developed a campaign called The Pledge, calling for industry

to offer technical & professional internships to graduates

Pledge objectives

Why it was created...

• Since the onset of the recession, the UK un-employment rate for new graduates was 20% in the third quarter of 2010National Office of Statistics

• According to the HECSU Nov 2010 report Graduates from engineering and building management subjects continued to experience a challenging time, and unemployment increased across all key subject areas

• According to C skills the annual recruitment requirement for professional and technical roles is 4,340 per annum if we are to meet the skills needed for 2014Blueprint for UK Construction Skills 2010 to 2014

Pledge objectives

Why is this so important ?

• The Pledge was launched in Building magazine in early 2010• The Pledge Web site was created to support the campaign

and act as a portal for companies to sign up www.thepledge.org.uk

• Pledge logo and certificate created to enable employers to publicly demonstrate their commitment to The Pledge

Pledge launch

The Pledge was launched...

• Our first task has been in winning the support of key industry bodies

• The CIOB, CE, CCG, G4C and Construction Skills have all publicly shown their support

• The Government Office of Graduate Opportunities (OGO) is also in support of the initiative

• Companies such as VINCI Plc, MACE and Thomas Vale Construction have all signed up

• We are now looking to target member organisations, key influences and champions of our industry to help promote The Pledge

Low Carbon Construction: Taking forward the IGT Report Key Principles for Delivery

• Split between Government and Industry responsibilities/leadership

• Recommendations not directed at particular bodies

• Strategic Forum to lead for Industry…But…..?

• CIC to facilitate only where direct interest or generic cross-professions’ participation required

• CIC members to lead where there is a compelling case that they are best placed to do so.

Low Carbon Construction: Taking forward the IGT Report Initial Response

65 Recommendations

• 6 were deemed priorities for CIC• 21 seen as important priorities for members• 28 require Government leadership• 10 likely not to be of direct interest to CIC

members

Low Carbon Construction: Taking forward the IGT Report Membership Survey

• Survey initially open to 28 February – but extended to 14 March

• 20 replies from Full Members (from total of 30)– 3 seeking no direct involvement

• Asked to indicate:

o Major priority - leading roleo Important priority – supporting roleo Priority – participation/involvemento No interest

• Plus indicate priorities for CIC

Low Carbon Construction: Taking forward the IGT Report Survey Results - Positive

• Every Recommendation a priority for at least one member

• 56 Recommendations a priority for at least six members

• 19 Recommendations a priority for at least ten members

• 12 CIC Members interested in leading in development of 31 Recommendations

• 12 Recommendations had more than one member expressing a leadership role

• One member has expressed an interest to lead on 13 recommendations; another on eleven.

Low Carbon Construction: Taking forward the IGT Report Survey Results - Negatives

But

• Every Recommendation had members stating that it is of no interest to them

• 51 Recommendations had more than five members with no interest

• 6 Recommendations had more than ten members with no interest

• This dichotomy expresses the breadth and diversity of CIC members’ interests
