A new programme to support the industry’s need to upskill in the area of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) has been launched .
The new micro-credential in Strategic Co-ordination and Collaboration for Modern Methods of Construction was developed following intensive engagement with industry to identify the key knowledge and skill gaps in the sector when it comes to the use of this developing area of construction.
The programme is highly practical and ensures that participants acquire the knowledge and develop the necessary skills to effectively deliver an MMC project in Ireland. It covers project critical areas such as project managing with design freeze, commercial relationships and structures, and how to create a collaborative culture.
Modern Methods of Construction Micro-credential Launched
Simon Harris, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, said:
“Modern Methods of Construction is a key component in helping the construction industry meet Government’s ambitious targets for housing, as well as the broader commercial requirements of our economy. The development of this new programme will greatly boost Ireland’s Modern Methods of Construction capability and support the delivery of both the National Development Plan and Housing for All strategy.”
Paul Healy, Chief Executive, Skillnet Ireland said:
“This new programme developed in collaboration with Construction Professionals Skillnet and Griffith College is a major step in delivering the capabilities for the roll-out of MMC projects across Ireland. It is also a powerful example of what is possible when we bring industry and higher education together to tackle complex challenges”.
Tom Parlon, CEO, CIF said:
“The Construction Industry Federation welcome the response to industry need that this new programme brings. Upskilling is always important, however, it is absolutely critical at the moment in supporting the industry in its response to Government plans.”
Diarmuid Hegarty, President of Griffith College, said:
“Griffith College recently took over the programmes of the Irish Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management, and are delighted to be able to respond to the needs of the construction sector in this area by working with industry partners in developing this programme”.

The Women in Construction and Engineering programme for 2023 will kick off on 8 March with a free webinar, 'Unlocking gender, diversity and inclusion potential through flexible working' which will look at how the move to flexible working will help the sector address its skills crisis.
New Civil Engineer editor Claire Smith will chair the webinar with a line up of expert guest speakers on flexible working.
“The pandemic helped fast track changes in working patterns in the construction and civil engineering industries, which have brought both benefits and challenge,” said Smith. “During the webinar discussion we are going to explore how the changes could unlock more potential in the sector by addressing gender balance, diversity and inclusion. The aim is to share best practice to ensure firms moving to new working arrangements get the maximum benefits for both their business and their staff.”
Unlocking Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Potential Through Flexible Working: Topics discussed include:
- The business case for flexible working practices and how can they support you to attract, retain and nurture talent as well as encourage workforce diversity in your organisation
- What impact are more flexible working practices and changing cultures having for your business and workforce?
- What do good flexible working practices look like?
- How will flexible working practices improve diversity and inclusion in construction and engineering?
