  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I believe the experiences I have gained with Amey over the summer will be invaluable in developing my career. I have been able to put my knowledge from university into practice whilst picking up lots of extra information. It has been really useful to me to see how real life civil engineering projects are carried out. I have now gained a much better understanding of the types of projects that I may be part of when I graduate.
