Career jumpers: Fuelling the move from private to public

Finn Williams, Paul Frainer, Zahra Haider, Megan Charnley

2020 Education & Employment English

How can we reinvigorate local bureaucracies and urban policies by placing built environment professionals within forward-thinking local authorities?

Public Practice is an innovative UK-based social enterprise that is having a dramatic impact on the talent pipeline of public sector planning departments. Their highly popular programme matches local councils in London and the South East with talented architects and built-environment professionals on 12-month placements.

Hear from their panel of Associates and Authority line managers who share experiences of the impact the programme is having on the culture, capacities and systems of local government / bureaucracy.

I am a strong advocate of a systems-based approach to growth and development which is fit for purpose within the environmental and social challenges we face in the 21st century. I have extensive crosscutting experience in local authority operations most notably in sustainable economic development and investment, strategic planning and policy, partnership development and management, place shaping, regeneration, transformation, shared services and commercialisation.
