TPS helps members hit by Covid

Skills

The Transport Planning Society is offering support to any of its  professional development scheme (PDS) trainees who have lost their jobs because of Covid-19.  

The Society’s skills team will work with affected members to find them a trained mentor, unless their existing mentor will continue voluntarily, and give them full support while they are unemployed. This includes first, interim and final reviews.  

Keith Buchan, the Society’s  skills director, said: “The TPS skills team is continually working to find ways to support our trainees in these difficult times. 

“The benefits for trainees of the retention scheme are clear.  Not only will they be able to continue to progress their professional development and work towards Incorporated Transport Planner (IncTP), they will be able to demonstrate to prospective employers their commitment and motivation to pursue a career in transport planning and hopefully make an easier and speedier transfer back into paid employment.”
