How armed forces benefit the built environment

摘要

Armed forces personnel are extremely valuable to the built environment. Well known for their commitment, skill and discipline, as well as their ability to focus under stressful situations, they hold many transferable skills such as project management, leadership, problem solving and teamworking. At University College of Estate Management (UCEM), we have a long history of armed forces personnel and veterans studying for our qualifications. When war broke out in 1939, the College of Estate Management (as it was known) delivered correspondence courses to over 13,000 servicemen at home and abroad. The college also worked with the British Red Cross to deliver courses to British servicemen being kept as prisoners of war across Europe.
