Construction’s need to modernise

In a recent study conducted by the CIOB, it was found that more than three-quarters of construction professionals believe that the industry’s management of quality is inadequate. Currently construction projects can face delays of more than 20 months or exceed initial budgets by up to 80%. With the right solutions and a knowledgeable workforce, project teams and their collaborators can all benefit and see these numbers reduced. 

In our constantly changing industry, it is important that people are given the opportunities to learn or update their skillset. Together with AccXel we are empowering individuals to own and nurture their construction career journey. 

In May 2023, we began an exciting new partnership with AccXel, an organisation dedicated to developing digital skills for future construction professionals. We are delighted to receive the Constructing Futures Industry Partner Award for 2023, a testament to the hard work and successful partnership between Thinkproject and AccXel. 

AccXel Construction School is an industry-led training provider established in 2020. Gloucestershire-based AccXel is the UK’s first industry-led construction school, dedicated to bridging the skills gap in the industry.

Thinkproject will soon be developing and delivering bespoke modules for AccXel’s Skill Steps© program which provides knowledge on progressing through their careers into leadership and management positions. 

  • “AccXel has been on an incredible journey so far, our programs are making a real difference in bridging those skills gaps in the industry. Being able to partner with Thinkproject will be a great experience for us and our learners. Getting those insights from a business who cross the gap between construction and technology is so valuable, which is why we are celebrating Thinkproject with our Industry Partner Award.”

As someone who started their career through an apprenticeship, I know the importance of having a space to develop new skills. At Thinkproject my career journey has been a constant process of learning and growth, so I am proud to be part of this partnership that brings our goal of lifelong learning to others outside of our organisation” says Marjona, Product Owner, Thinkproject.

It has been fantastic to see our initial discussions with AccXel grow into this established partnership. Many of us at Thinkproject come from backgrounds in the industry and remain passionate about improving it. We are looking forward to continuing developing modules with AccXel in the future” adds Bruce, Head of Product, Thinkproject.
