Developing knowledge, judgement and professional confidence in the built and natural environment, through exceptional ‘DEC’ teaching.
Talent development is not a social add on, it is core to delivery, safety and long term performance. Through ‘DEC’ – the Design Engineer Construct! Learning Programme – we connect industry expertise with exceptional teaching, setting standards early, reducing skills risk and ensuring future projects are delivered by responsible young professionals.
Talent risk
is project risk
Delays and risk start upstream
Competence is not optional
Judgement must be taught

Capability is assessed
People and planet depend on talent
YOUR ACTIONS shape outcomes
“DEC is one of the only educational pathways that prepares and educates students with the right skills at an early enough stage. It builds a pipeline of talent that we so desperately need to bridge the skills gaps and produce the construction leaders of the future that will build our desperately needed infrastructure. A number of our NHP scheme contractors and professional services providers have adopted DEC schools in an attempt to nurture the future pipeline of talent we desperately need in the industry to build the hospitals of the future.”
