  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy the programme very much as it is something i have not done before and it is the opposite of what i had set out from college to do. which makes it very interesting as i am learning new skills which i did not learn through my college or University days.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It is structured very well within my area of business everyone is aware of their roles and responsibility. It also organised in a way that if someone is struggling them their people who they can turn to for help and guidance. Through the organisation everyone has the opportunity to contact and speak to each other regarding either them needing some from of training or card and it is not split in half were the site people do not only communicate with site but they have to communicate other people within the business.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • Within my office their are opportunities where the office gets to visit sites to see what work is happening and also how our work impacts and help them. As this helps to understand why we do what we do and what the purpose is. it also helps us meet other people from the company and communicate with them face to face and not just through emails and telephones.

  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • i believe through BAM Nuttall you can build a career or even start a career as the depth of knowledge you get through the business is extraordinary. as this is my first job role the support and guidance i have been given is brilliant and i am learning through courses and practical work.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAM?
  • If they are given the opportunity to work within the company then i believe this opportunity should not be taken lightly as this opportunity will build not only your career but it also builds you as a person. Working hard is important as if you waste this opportunity through slaking then you are loosing out on one big opportunity.
