How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The training provider teaches me areas of civil engineer I was previously unaware of. This then enables me to work more proactively when tasked with problems relating to this in the work environment as I already have a basic understanding of the scenario.
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
My company provides regular, subsidised work-social events. These are good because they breakdown potential barriers between colleagues and aid in the goal of collaborative working.
