Project Management Review

I really enjoyed the insight week and found it very useful to further my understanding of Mace as a company and of the industry. I also really enjoyed the other people on the insight week as we were all like minded people, this created a great networking opportunity. Overall the insight week was thoroughly enjoyable

Throughout the insight week I felt valued with all questions listened to and answered to the best of peoples ability, employees also went out of their way to ensure our questions were answered. I also enjoyed using the canteen and other facilities and was really made to feel at home within the company.

There was an abundance of guidance and support on offer over the week especially focusing on CV writing and assessment centres towards the end of the week. I feel there was constant support throughout the week encouraging discussion and participation and creating an open forum for ideas and future career choices.

The insight week hugely improved my confidence in team work and public speaking as it was something we were working on all week. We also looked at improving CV's and how to communicate skills in a way that attracts employees and in turn increases job prospects. Overall the week was very beneficial in furthering my skills.

The insight week was very well structured and organised, I felt it had been very well planned and everything thought out. Especially the activities with time set aside after every presentation for a little QnA session encouraging discussion between use participants and those running the course. Overall the insight week had a very professional and polished feel.

Overall the atmosphere was very positive and encouraged debate throughout the week, and I feel like I've made long term friends and people I can rely on in future. The insight week was very positive and I feel that everyone came away having learnt something. You definitely get the feeling that the leaders enjoy their jobs.

There was a huge focus on writing and tailoring a CV in order to bring out the best in a applicant. I felt this is an investment in us of time and skill. Even if we don't apply for a job at Mace it still gives us an advantage applying for other jobs

The week gave great insight into what it is like to work in a full time role within the company, they did this through work place shadowing this allowed a look into the everyday goings on in the office and what an employees day looks like. This allowed us to talk to employees and hear first hand what its like working there.

The insight week showed me the inner workings of the company and focused on the charity side of Mace and the fundraising they do. I also got a good understanding of the work culture during my employee shadowing and had the opportunity to ask plenty of questions and see the office in action.

The day to day content was invaluable in helping me decide my career path, I had to opportunity to talk to many different people in different positions all over the company, I feel much more confident now when thinking about the direction i want to take once I've finished university.

I was reimbursed for all travel during the week to and from work
