    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • They gave very detailed presentations on all the roles available and answered all questions on the details of these. We heard from construction managers, project managers and quantity surveyors and learnt what each of these roles entailed. We were also given an in depth presentation on the graduate scheme process, tips on interviews, and other placement opportunities they offered (e.g summer/year long).
