The ICE Benevolent Fund's Back to Work coaching service provides you with the tools you need to get you back on your feet. From rebuilding your confidence to learning new skills, the aim is simple: to kick-start your career and get you into a job you love, fast.
What is the Benevolent Fund?
For over 150 years, the ICE Benevolent Fund has been providing support to civil engineers.
It exists to help all civil engineers who are, or have been, members of ICE, as well as providing support to families.

- How to identify your transferable skills, strengths and experience
- Evaluating your job options, including self-employment
- How to develop an eye-catching CV that will generate interviews
- How to create your own successful personal marketing plan

I've previously been an ICE member - how can I return?
Reinstating your ICE membership depends on how long you've been away. You can find full details about reinstating your membership by visiting our 'Reinstatement' page.
I've never been an ICE member - how can I join?
Your journey to membership depends upon your circumstances - particularly your educational qualifications and work experience.
To help guide you through this journey, we've created an online tool that can help tell you what you'll need to do in order to become professionally qualified - no matter your current circumstances. We'll ask you some questions to help understand your current position, and then provide you with a free MyICE account containing personalised membership advice and support, tailored to you.
