The Rees Jeffreys Road Fund is offering a valuable funding opportunity for CIHT members through its Ready for the Future professional development grants. These grants are designed to support professionals working in highways and transport to gain the emerging skills needed to shape the future of the sector.

Whether you're a practitioner, early-career professional, or someone looking to move into a new area of transport, this scheme offers financial support to help you upskill in areas such as:

• Artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning
• Behavioural science and its application to transport and travel
• Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, including neurodiversity and disability design
• Cyber security, digital twins, and quantum computing
• Nature-based solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation
• Automotive engineering technology and Safe System road safety approaches

The grants are aimed at individuals who would not otherwise be able to afford further study, and who can demonstrate how their learning will benefit the highways and transport sector.

Deadline for applications: Friday 3 October 2025
