IBP planning new induction training course

IBP is actively working on plans for a new Induction Training Course which would be designed to offer new entrants into construction, design and property journalism and PR a valuable basic grounding in the operation and practices of this complex industry.

The course will be created as a high quality, value for money product which would fill a perceived gap in basic training provision in the industry.Course content will comprise a detailed overview of the industry, its operations, its key role in the UK economy and its crucial contribution to the quality of life in the workplace and in the home. The second component would be an analysis of communications both within the industry and to the ‘outside’audiences.

“The underlying purpose of this course is to provide an opportunity, not available elsewhere, for new entrants, whether from university or from other industrial sectors, to receive concentrated grounding in how the industry operates and communicates so that they are well prepared to make their own contribution either as journalists or PR practitioners.“Specialised training provision of this nature will be a new departure for IBP and provides clear evidence of its intention continually to develop its services to all members and benefit the wider industry”, said Gerald Bowey, Chief Executive of IBP Services.
