Equans director leads the way at school engagement event

An Equans director lead by example this month when he volunteered his own time to support a school engagement event at a school in Hertfordshire.

Regeneration Director, James Cousins, generously gave up some of his time recently when he took a moment to speak to students from Stanborough School in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire about careers within the construction industry.

James spoke to several students about their aspirations after leaving school, gave some inside knowledge about the industry as well as some great tips on how to prepare for interviews.

The event was organised by Equans' Social Value Manager, Patrick Warren, who in addition to attending the event also visited the Wickford Alternative Provision to talk to students about routes into construction as well as giving them advice on interview techniques.
