Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The day included sessions that helped us understand the priorities, values and behaviours of the company and included insight into what they are looking for during the application process for their roles. The day included a site visit to have a first hand experience of what working in the built environment may include.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The knowledge they gave us during the day was very much easy to understand and later our exactly what the application process would look like for those of us looking to gain a place on any of Mace’s programmes, summer internships, industrial placement years or graduate programmes. Talking to individuals currently on the grad programme helped me see how varied people’s backgrounds can be to get to the programme.
