Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Mace to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The three days that I spent with Mace opened a new world of endless career opportunities that were previously hidden to me.
Mace are at the forefront of technological change in the construction industry and dedicate a lot of time effort and resources on conquering discrimination in the workplace.
