The CIOB

The construction industry needs to attract new talent to thrive in the years to come. This is part of the inspiration for the Chartered Institute of Building’s annual competition, the COIB Global Student Challenge, which sees students from around the world run a virtual construction company for a few weeks, with tasks and job performance being scored by an expert panel of judges.

As the winners of the CIOB Global Student Challenge 2021 are about to be announced, Bluebeam—which offers practical help and advice to the participants—spoke to the winners of last year’s competition about what they learned from a contest where they pretend to run a construction company.
