The British Tunnelling Society (BTS) last month established a Young Members Committee with an inaugural meeting at the headquarters of the Institution of Civil Engineers, in London.
To raise the profile of the tunnelling sector among young engineers, not least at a time of a pronounced skills gap, the Committee was conceived of earlier this year.
The Young Members Committee will also support the activities of the BTS main committee.
The BTS Young Members Committee has four sub-groups that will meet most frequently, at monthly intervals – the promotion, education, management and support units. Quarterly meetings of the entire Committee are anticipated.
