CIAT aspirATion Group launch in UK and Europe

Encouraging institute and industry engagement amongst students and recent graduates

CIAT has launched an exciting initiative and established a new Group; ‘aspirATion’ which will target students/recent Architectural Technology graduates to raise awareness of the Institute, the discipline and the position it holds in the industry. It will encourage CIAT membership and engagement of graduates with industry, starting in their formative years within the discipline. 
 
Local groups, operating across all UK Regions and overseas Centres in Denmark and Ireland have been formed which will feed into the overarching aspirATion Group, and which will be comprised of students, graduates and recently qualified professionals within the discipline.
 
These local groups will work with universities, colleges, peer groups such as members of BRE Academy, CIOB Novus, RICS Matrics, and industry professionals in their locality.

 
The terms of reference of the aspirATion Group are to:

  • Provide a focal point for the Institute’s activities and objectives with respect to all future AT Professional members.
  • Maintain a dialogue between the aspirATion Group and the Institute’s other Groups and Committees regarding any issues that may affect Future AT Professionals members and to ensure that Future AT Professional members are not adversely affected by any of these issues; which includes the Regional/Centre Committee networks.
  • Raise awareness of Institute activities, objectives and constitutional processes.
  • Increase the potential for participation and membership among current students.
  • Increase awareness of the Institute, the discipline and the position it holds in the industry to potential Future AT Professionals and other associated professionals
