The latest episode of the IOR Tip of the Iceberg podcast was recorded on International Women in Engineering Day in June 2022. We were joined by Steve Gill of World Refrigeration Day, Lisa-Jayne Cook, IOR Women in RACHP Group and Sam Buckell STEM Ambassador to talk about how careers in Science Technology Engineering and Maths fields are evolving and we ask what can be done to bring more diversity into our sector in order to attract the best people and skills.  This is part of the IOR's Beyond Refrigeration initiative to explore at how the sector is evolving to address the net zero challenge.

Opportunity For Employers To Influence Future Skills

10 Dec 2024

BESA, on behalf of the Engineering Building Services Skills Authority (EBBSA,) are setting up Sector Groups (SG’s) in occupations within Building Services.  The SG’s purpose is to bring employers within specific occupation groups together to determine the roles that exist within that occupational area, thereafter determine a competency framework for these roles.  The IOR is pleased to be invited to support this work and to help co-ordinate outputs with its own plans to map skills needs and roles in the RACHP sector.
