Professional Development
Hoare Lea has a comprehensive and structured Initial Professional Development (IPD) scheme developed for graduate engineers pursuing Chartered Engineer status. The scheme comprises on-the-job training as part of a design team; a two-year lecture programme focused on technical, management and communication subjects, and construction site experience. Hoare Lea have recently established an exchange programme with a leading UK architectural practice.
Hoare Lea's IPD scheme is also accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Hoare Lea was also a founder member of BSRIA, the Building Services Research and Information Association.
In addition to its IPD scheme, Hoare Lea has a national Continuing professional development (CPD) programme with two stands – a management development programme and a technical update programme.
The management programme has a series of one-day courses covering a range of management and leadership topics, mainly small-scale workshops delivered by in-house and external presenters, trainers and facilities. The technical programme includes updates in the principal engineering disciplines, covering technical and regulatory developments and case studies as well as sustainability workshops.
Hoare Lea offers options for further study and many employees attend specialist courses and conferences and undertake academic qualifications to support their continuing development.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or development:
“Virtue and vice suppose the freedom to choose between good and evil; but what can be the morals of a woman who is not even in possession of herself, who has nothing of her own, and who all her life has been trained to extricate herself from the arbitrary by ruse, from constraint by using her charms?... As long as she is subject to man’s yoke or to prejudice, as long as she receives no professional education, as long as she is deprived of her civil rights, there can be no moral law for her!”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
