INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE TALENT – ADOPT A SCHOOL AND GROW YOUR OWN!
Every serious skills strategy depends on the quality of teaching.
COYO’s award-winning Design Engineer Construct! Learning Programme is delivered by exceptional teachers who commit to deep subject knowledge, high professional standards and their own continuous development.
Our role is to ensure they are properly supported, connected to industry and equipped to teach the complexity that modern projects demand.
When teachers are respected and resourced, students develop confidence, judgement and a clear understanding of professional responsibility.
Adopt a DEC School and build your strong, credible talent pipeline.
DISCOVER DESIGN ENGINEER CONSTRUCT!
Learn from Katie Ferreira, DEC Teacher of the Year 2024, and her Year 9 DEC students (age 13-14) – at work at Les Quennevais School, Jersey.
The DEC qualification has given our new starters the perfect platform to succeed.
From the outset, they have demonstrated not only strong technical skills but also the right attitude to grow, collaborate and contribute meaningfully.
Whether focusing on mechanical, electrical or digital/BIM in each of their roles, each has shown professionalism, curiosity and commitment beyond their years.
What impresses us most is the balance of capability and character that DEC develops – creating confident young professionals who can quickly add value to projects and thrive within a team.
It’s clear that DEC prepares students exceptionally well for careers in building services and the built environment sector more generally – we can’t wait to add more to our team!
