“Having finished my apprenticeship in 2023, I now have a degree, more than five years’ industry experience and have been the commercial lead on a project – amazing considering I had no industry experience prior,” says quantity surveyor Evie Marsden, who completed her degree apprenticeship at Sheffield Hallam University while working for Kier Construction.
Having already completed a maths degree, she says the apprenticeship boosted her employability significantly. “It not only shows I have the knowledge of the subject area, but I also have the skills and behaviours to carry out the role appropriately. After all, I’ve demonstrated that to my employer for five years now and continue to develop.”
