The Graduate Scheme gives you a holistic oversight of the business. To have the opportunity to be introduced and adapt to four separate work areas is a good way to learn about the organisation, and ultimately will help you to develop both personally and professionally.
I am currently in my fourth and final placement so speaking from my experience of the (nearly) complete two-year graduate scheme I can say that it definitely has shaped me as a person, especially this early on in my career; aiding my understanding of several aspects enveloped within the ‘built environment’ bracket and general sustainability. Tasks may range from scheme development and data analysis to handling your own projects, interacting with external clients and even the possibility of providing assistance on government reviews from time-to-time.
Amongst all this, there are many social and extra-curricular activities to get involved in with a network of other graduates, mentors and great colleagues. The welcoming nature and community feel here make it easy to integrate.
