Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

very well organised and structured.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

There are many people within the company that are more than willing to help out with any questions that I might have, or provide any sort of training I might need to further develop myself and career.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

All the support needed.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

My training provider provides the theoretical aspect of the course whereas the project I am working on provides me with training for the technical skills needed to do my job.

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

there are many networking events to attend to help me to get to know everyone within the company.

Would you recommend Skanska to a friend?

Yes

Why?

They have exceeded all my expectations of what an apprenticeship is, I could not be happier with what Skanska has provided for me and what it can provide.
