About this event

In this session the members of the Project Skills Alliance will work with teams of students to showcase some typical project based interactive scenario’s that will be part of the new Project Skills GCSE.

Students will be challenged to

• work together, 
• think creatively and 
• solve challenges based on real work experiences.

The Project Skills Alliance is made up of representatives from mega project organisations such as Thales, Atkins and Jacobs as well as professional bodies like the Project and Skills Authority. Together with educators and the support of government departments they are looking to build new skills at GCSE level which link directly to the increasing demands of public and private project organisations helping transform our environment, society and the economy.

Before and after the session, you are welcome to browse the stalls at the Careers & Apprenticeships Expo.
