CIBSE expands Awards scheme

The growing importance of young engineers and their role in helping the UK emerge from economic recession is to be reflected in a new awards scheme developed by the Chartered Institution of Building Service Engineers (CIBSE). The CIBSE Young Engineers Awards 2012 brings together the CIBSE ASHRAE Graduate of the Year Award and the Employer of the Year Award in one, high-profile event to be held at the IMechE.

The Awards will take place on 11th October 2012, after Building Services - the CIBSE Conference and Exhibition in London.

The awards scheme also picks out the employers who are doing the most to encourage young talent.

There will also be a debate between members of the CIBSE Young Engineers Network (YEN) and the Presidents of the Institution; its US counterpart ASHRAE; and the IMechE.
