| Memorandum of Understanding between HETAC and Chartered Institute of Building | |
| The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Higher Education Training Awards Council (HETAC). This collaboration enables CIOB to recognise Level 8 (and higher) cognate construction degree programmes accredited by HETAC as fulfilling the academic requirements for Corporate membership of the CIOB, and further agrees to provide appropriate pathways to such Corporate membership. The pathways will also meet the needs of holders of Level 7 construction degrees accredited by HETAC, through the achievement of credits at Level 8 in the Irish National Framework of Qualifications. Niamh O’Gorman, former Centre Administrator for the CIOB in Ireland, has moved to a new role to facilitate promotion of this agreement. As Business Development Officer – Ireland, Niamh will travel to ITs around the country, talking to staff and students. She will also work with businesses to ensure that all who come under this agreement are made aware of their options. For further information, please see http://www.ciob.org.uk/admin/wysiwyg_v2/www.ciob.org.uk/education/ciobpathways.

CIOB Career Guidance
Facing the consequences and challenges of unemployment is a highly individual experience in which there are no accepted norms for securing suitable employment. Identifying ways to positively differentiate yourself, and the skills that you posses, from potential competitors has never been more important.
Aiming to provide guidance to its Member in such a relevant topic, the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has partnered with Career Management Consultants Ltd (CMC) and put together a range of advice centred at CV-writing, interview techniques and effective networking.
