WHAT DOES A PLACEMENT LOOK LIKE?
One of our current work placement students, Harrison, is studying ‘Surveying, Planning and Design’ at North Kent College. Whilst on site, Harrison is partnered with a Senior Surveyor. This gives him the insight of someone with a successful career in surveying.
Being on-site allows our work placement students to work across sectors and learn various survey techniques. To ensure Harrison has a well-rounded experience he has also gained an understanding of office and processing work.
We sat down with Harrison to speak about his time with Spatial Dimensions, and whether he’d recommend us to his peers. See the video below!
