Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There were presentations given about the company and it's projects and objectives (e.g. net zero). There were also group activities which made the day interactive and fun. After lunch, we visited one of Mace's construction sites and learnt about the work that is involved, e.g. how they make the buildings fire safe.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We got information about all the different types of roles available at Mace and we got personal insights from graduate students on their placement.
