Putting the knowledge learned from uni into practice in the workplace has expanded skills on managing work and people to a great extend.

Very well structure. I have allocated time for academic learning and time for practical experience. This is closely monitored by my workplace mentor who guides me along the way to grow into the best version of who I can be and how to perform my role.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
The training provider (Sheffield Hallam University) is providing an outstanding course with lectures who have a world of knowledge in their respective fields but who are also extremely passionate about passing on that knowledge.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The knowledge learned from uni allows me to better understand the academic parts of my rile. This knowledge is then used during my working day on site to implement and grow in my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Being in the construction industry and living away from home the opportunities for that is limited, but Kier provides very good schemes to join a local gym etc.
