The President's Apprentice initiative started in 2005, when Gordon Masterton showed real commitment to graduates during his year in office by starting the scheme. ICE President Paul Jowitt wished to continue the President's Apprentice initiative and broadened the scheme to provide professional development experience in infrastructure for international development. This year´s apprentice scheme focuses on providing the young engineers´ invaluable experience in the role civil engineers play in international development. Unlike other years, when most apprentices have been UK-based and generally UK nationals, this year four of the apprentices live in ICE international regions and eight of them are not UK nationals. This mix of nationalities and experience is essential so that there is a broad mix of working environments and local infrastructure across the team.
Paul's Apprentices are shown below:
