Work experience is a great way to get a feel for what you might want to do (and just as importantly, what you might not!), so at CHC we are always happy to have people come in and see what our industry is all about.
We recently had Marta join us for a two-week placement after finishing her first year studying civil engineering at The University of Salford. It was great to have her with us and for her to get some real, hands-on insight into the role. At the end of her time with us, this is what Marta had to say:
“When I first walked in to the office, I felt welcomed and everyone was so kind and friendly. I have been on multiple sites, which helped me to get a real-life experience of how construction works, how it is operated and what is a step-by-step process. Every site had the kindest people ever! Everyone was so welcoming, they were looking after me and making sure that I actually learned something throughout these 2 weeks.
I have been on a few progress meetings with the clients, and I appreciated the opportunity of being included and treated as part of a team.
This wouldn’t have been possible without Claire and David who organised every single day and created a structured program for me. They always made sure that I felt welcomed, supported and valued, which shows how much they love what they do and the company they do it for.
I am really grateful for this opportunity to have had two weeks of work experience at Cheetham Hill Construction!”
Thank you Marta, and we hope you will decide to go ahead and pursue a degree level apprenticeship with us.
