About this Event

The LSA, in partnership with Ryder Architecture and Gateshead College, is delighted to announce the proposed expansion of the award winning PlanBEE higher apprenticeship programme to London.

We would like to welcome you to a breakfast event at the LSA studio on 24 March 2023 to hear more about this exciting new partnership, how we plan to deliver alternative routes to careers in the built-environment and discuss how we might collectively support the students and this exciting initiative.

PlanBEE is a multidisciplinary, shared apprenticeship in design, construction and management which allows young people to study part time whilst gaining practical experience through six different work placements with employers over two years. This initiative is closely aligned with the ambitions of the LSA’s Part 0 programme to promote pathways into architecture and the built environment.

About PlanBEE:

Founded by Ryder Architecture and Gateshead College in the North East in 2016, the programme expanded to Manchester in 2021 and includes topic areas highly relevant to the future of the built environment including MMC, net zero, retrofit, building safety and digital.

Over 50 apprentices, many from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds, have graduated from the programme to date, with over 98% progressing to successful careers with sponsor employers and higher education pathways. The programme is currently supported by over 40 employers including architects, engineers, contractors, project and cost managers and other specialists.

Through a new alliance with London School of Architecture (LSA) and our combined networks, we plan to launch the programme in London in September 2023.

“We recognise that existing educational pathways are not always fit for purpose and that there is a pressing need in the built environment to develop the best talent and equip them with the tools to address our current and future challenges. This proven and innovative apprenticeship programme provides an excellent opportunity to support this need.” Neal Shasore, Head of School and Chief Executive, LSA.

“In 2013 Ryder Architecture published a “Plan for Built Environment Education” to challenge existing structures, provide career pathways which are fit for the future and encourage young people from all backgrounds to join our industry. This resulted in the creation of the PlanBEE apprenticeship and we are delighted to announce our intention to launch this transformative programme in London, building on its proven success elsewhere in the UK” Mark Thompson, Managing Partner, Ryder Architecture.
