The WCIT Journeyman
Scheme

have recently taken over the Chair of
the Journeyman Scheme from Roger
Dimmock and thought it would be
useful to remind the Company’s members
of what the Journeyman Scheme is all
about. Firstly, I would like to publically
thank Roger for all his hard work in his
time as Chair.
The intention of the Scheme is very much
that we seek to provide an opportunity for
those more junior members of our
industry to get to know about the WCIT,
whilst receiving some professional
guidance from a mentor within the
Company. The journey normally lasts for

three years, after which the Journeyman
can apply to join the Company through
the normal Freedom Panel mechanism.
Each year the Journeymen also compete
for the Pinkerton Award, which is won
through the submission of an essay
selected from a number of different topics. Dr Paolo Adragna (right) receiving his Pinkerton
