Hertfordshire school students complete work experience

Students from a school in Hertfordshire have been given the opportunity to undertake work experience with Equans.

On June 24th a group of students from Birchwood High School in Bishops Stortford started their week long work experience placement with Equans as part of our social value offering to Clarion Housing Group.

The work experience gives students a chance to experience a taste of the construction industry without the risks that exist on a live building site.

During the week, students were taught basic plumbing and painting skills and underwent valuable pre-employment training with our in-house TAG Officer, Helena Hamilton, before putting their new learnt skills to the test helping to renovate the dining room at Age.

"It was a great day and the students were lovely! It was a pleasure to be part of such an inspiring week." Helena Hamilton, Trainee Apprentice and Graduate Officer for Equans

At the end of the week, Clarion's Regional Director, Gary Coultish attended to present the students with their completion certificates.
