Volunteering Opportunities

CIOB exists for public benefit. We are committed to inspiring, educating and influencing change in the industry and the wider society. But we couldn't do any of it without help.

We sincerely appreciate those who volunteer time to share knowledge, build a supportive community and drive positive change in the industry.

CIOB supports this in various ways, including volunteering directly with us and partnering with other not-for-profit organisations that can provide a safe, trustworthy, well-established platform. Get involved today and see your impact.

Organise an Event

Contribute to Industry Learning

Site Visits

Site visits offer several benefits for professionals seeking continuing professional development. Seeing a project in development allows participants to witness real-world application of theories and concepts, helping them to see how they are implemented in practice. This exposure can spark inspiration for innovation, encouraging participants to bring fresh ideas and solutions back to their own work environments.

Additionally, site visits also create valuable networking opportunities.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Events

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for maintaining and advancing professional skills and knowledge. Convening local face to face CPD events helps individuals develop leadership skills, including planning, coordination and building relationships. Leading such activity establishes the individual as an expert in their field, enhancing their reputation and credibility.

To express your interest in leading membership events please fill in the form above and we will arrange a meeting to discuss your idea.

Build connections: It’s a great opportunity for attendees to meet new people, share their experiences, and form valuable relationships.
Showcase your expertise: As a host, you can highlight your knowledge and skills, establishing yourself as a leader in our field.
Inspire collaboration: By connecting diverse individuals, you can spark new partnerships and innovative projects.
