The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Academy has launched a massive open online course (MOOC) focusing on ethics and compliance for construction professionals, starting 30 January 2017, the MOOC being an internet-based course that is available to a very large number of people for free.
The five-week interactive course is free and open to anyone working in the built environment sector globally and starts on 30 January 2017. Developed with industry experts, the online programme includes contributions from construction clients and contractors.
Each week, ethical leadership skills will be developed as course participants reflect on interactive exercises and explore dilemmas that are relatable to their everyday roles. Subjects range from bribery and corruption to company policy and interactions in the workplace.
The topics are brought to life through social learning, questionnaires, videos, articles and quizzes. Participants will also have the opportunity to interact with each other and the course leader in a safe and managed forum.
The MOOC is suitable for all levels of seniority and across all disciplines and departments, particularly those in construction management, site management, design, HR, procurement, surveying and more.
As well as supporting employees in large organisations, it can also help small business owners with more limited resources to know where to begin in developing their own ethical codes of conduct, and providing clear guidance for suppliers and staff.
