The construction industry is suffering a skills shortage specifically in the adoption and use of new technology. Traditionally construction has been a low tech industry with manual skills being the priority. With the growing use of BIM throughout the project lifecycle there is a need for new skills. In response BIM.Technologies have recently established Campus a specialist BIM training facility at _space group headquarters in Newcastle.
Campus provides students a foundation of sills for the delivery of BIM across the industry. A full time tutor has been appointed with the training facility having the capacity for 15 students at one time.
BIM.Technologies are working in partnership with Barnardos to focus on young people who are currently Not in Employment, Education or Training. (NEET)
Campus is also been supported by Autodesk who are providing a full suite of software and training material. Campus will operate 12 week courses and will then assist the students to find appropriate placements across industry.
