Mark your calendars for 14 May 2025. The NAS & IOC Members Day is set to take place, and this year’s theme is at the forefront of the construction and interiors sector: The Competency Framework.
Why Attend?
This free event is more than just an update, it’s an opportunity for NAS and IOC members to come together to help shape the future of our industries. Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the construction industry has been navigating the challenges posed by the Building Safety Act 2022 and subsequent regulations. Central to these changes is the requirement to ensure that the workforce is competent and operates within clearly defined parameters.
But what does “competence” mean? How do we define it for sectors as diverse as shopfitting, carpentry, and joinery? These are the questions that the NAS and IOC, alongside key partners like the British Woodwork Federation, have been tackling. And now, it’s time to share the progress—and gather your input.
What to Expect
- Insightful Presentations: Gain an in-depth understanding of the Competency Framework, including the Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Behaviours (SKEB) that define competence in our sectors.
- Strategic Updates: Learn about the work being done to align the competency framework with the National Occupational Standards (NOS), chaired by Amanda Scott.
- Consultation Opportunities: Your voice matters. The Member’s Day will be a platform for open discussions as we finalize the framework through sector-wide consultation.
- Networking: Connect with fellow members, industry leaders, and key stakeholders over shared interests and goals. Strengthen your network and build collaborations that can drive your business forward.
Why This Matters
Competence is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It varies by context, sector, and role. By attending Members Day, you’ll gain clarity on how these frameworks will impact our industries—and how they will empower you to stay ahead in a changing regulatory landscape. Together, we’ll ensure the framework is not only robust but also reflective of the realities on the ground.
