5/5
Having a training provider like cementation-skanska allows me to learn a much larger range of skills and gain much more knowledge of the industry then I would anywhere else.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
I’m not aware there are social activities etc.. as I joined during covid so it’s likely they will not be advertised.
