Academy

Welcome to the ABEC Academy

Our Academy has been launched to provide a permanent and significant improvement to the engineering pipeline in the building controls industry.

 

 

The global BEMS market is expected to double in size and currently the lack of engineering resource is threatening to destabilise this growth. Demand for qualified engineers continues to outstrip supply, putting an inflationary pressure on cost, as well as leading to a reduction in the quality of engineering resource as people are fastracked to site without the necessary training.

Our clients receive many benefits from the scheme, most notably a security over the future of quality engineering resource from ABEC.

In all of the schemes entrants will rotate through all of our departments, ensuring they have a true 360 degree view of our business and our industry. Rotations include:

  • Control panel manufacturing
