Join ICE Wales Cymru Early Careers Networks (Graduate, Students, Apprentices and Technicians) across Wales engaging with Professor Jim Hall, ICE’s 160th President, in a Round Table discussion on his Presidential themes for 2024/ 2025.
First, we share thoughts and perspectives on this year’s Presidential theme: An infrastructure strategy for a sustainable future.
Then we will debate how with increasing financial pressures for developing and maintaining infrastructure systems, how can we ensure that we prioritise funding to the right areas?
A key component of a future-proofed infrastructure strategy is ensuring that there are enough skilled workers to design, construct, maintain and decommission our infrastructure. How can we do this?
This inspirational event is to be held at Mott MacDonald’ Cardiff Office in central Cardiff and will be hybrid: face to face and via Teams. Please advise if you will be attending in person or online when you register.
Please also let us know if you have any dietary issues.
