the training provider can sometimes be hard to contact but when you do manage to contact someone the help you get is the best possible they make sure you leave whatever worries you had in the passed and will also give you the correct amount of resources so you can help yourself

a lot in the civil engineering insdustry you can learn new things daily no matter how long you have been doing it this means that when you have a week a uni you will then hear and see the things you learnt about in your daily job this can be helpful to help you progress
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

as a team we like to do social events throughout the year as well as christmas parties this is with many different members from the office and this allows you to develop relationships with people you may not have spoken to before and this may help you in work to ask them for help
