JCT\u2019s success and welcome members of JCT\u2019s Young Professionals Group (YPG).<\/p>\n<h3>What is the YPG networking group?<\/h3>\n<p>The YPG is a networking group aimed at those primarily in the first ten years of their construction career, regardless of age, and brings together professionals across all sectors of the industry to provide peer-to-peer networking opportunities, talks from industry leaders and experts, and a members-only online portal including articles, resources, videos, white papers, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The group uniquely combines a range of both digital and face-to-face networking resources to support a modern way of working.<\/p>\n<p>The YPG is a vital link in combing the vast array of expertise and experience that exists within the JCT membership, with those that will one day be the industry\u2019s leaders and play a role in JCT\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<h3>Develop and support young professionals through the YPG network<\/h3>\n<p>JCT chief executive, Neil Gower, who gave a welcome address at the event, said:<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;It is a pleasure to be able to welcome back JCT members and guests to our first Parliamentary Reception since the pandemic and to acknowledge the continued hard work of our members in what continues to be an extremely challenging period for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today is about looking to the future and highlighting the important work JCT is doing to develop and support young professionals through our YPG network, as well as providing a range of resources to ensure that professionals at all levels have the skills they need to meet future challenges and to lead our industry forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The initiative of supporting young professionals reflects JCT\u2019s reputation for providing a range of expert-led training and education resources to assist professionals at all levels in the use of JCT contracts.<\/p>\n<p><a
