This is a comprehensive two year programme for engineers who have graduated which has been developed and delivered in conjunction with Engineers Ireland. This programme has been designed for civil and structural engineers to enhance their technical skills and development which are required to succeed as a professional engineer.

Participants will attend a number of workshops away from their designated site. These workshops target specific elements of the engineer’s programme development.
