  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I believe the programme is for the most part very well set out, although the IEng that goes along with my apprenticeship still hasn't been sorted. The content is good and applicable to the type of things I do on a day to day basis.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Very well organised for the most part, there are a few hiccups here and there. An example being the OneFile, still not sure if it's to be used or not and no real solid guidance on why or how its meant to be used.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There are, social, sports and professional events that WSP host. They even have a scheme in place for those with under 10years of experience in the industry to network.

  • 9a. Would you recommend WSP to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • They are a great place to work with a great ethic and the people are really nice. They give you a solid workload without feeling like you're under too much pressure. But they also understand that you have uni commitments to fulfil and will help with that.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to WSP?
  • Just be yourself in the interview, really sell your own story. Dont be another candidate just spilling facts about the company (obviously it helps to know the facts, but dont regurgitate them like a robot). Really show why you stand out from the crowd.
