Eg. Work Placements
Name: Chris Porter
Site: M62 Junctions 8 & 9
Date: 08.07.02 - 12.07.02
Statement: The placement was extremely enjoyable and educational. I have learnt to use various tools and skills, which I hope to use in a future career. I have learnt to use theodolites and levels and their importance on site. I have also learnt about the pricing of materials and labour costs through various tasks set by my supervisors. This placement has also developed other important skills such as confidence and teamwork.
