Feedback from companies who have taken part:
“The students were fantastic that we visited – very engaged and interested in the practical side. Many of the students were asking lots of questions and seemed really interested. All the students we saw were taking Design Technology as a GCSE option, or were about to, and there were a lot of students who were looking at construction as an industry to go into after school. There were also those who didn’t think of Construction as an option but started showing an interest and asking the right questions once we started talking about all of the different areas.”
“Both the company and students get a lot out of the tour, we enjoy showing students what we do and look to promote Engineering as a career.”
“Pupils were positive and engaging, while being polite. Most importantly we believe the visit was a real value to them and their course of study.”
