What a fantastic experience our #RailAndCivil students had at @Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure recently!

Alexander Leigh, Elliott Pile and Brodie Scorer - all Level 3 #CivilEngineering #Students at Newcastle College Rail and Civil Academy - spent a week shadowing engineers as they worked.

Emily Tench, Community Engagement Advisor at @Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure said: "By shadowing our engineers working across different sites, the students were able to gain awareness and understanding of the civil engineering works being carried out on #TheNorthumberlandLineProject and the importance of health and safety."

Some of the feedback from the students demonstrates the value in providing young people with #WorkExperience opportunities:

“The people we have met have allowed me to deepen my understanding about civil engineering and some of the concepts I have learnt in collage I now understand them better after seeing them in a practical setting.”

"This has been an inspiring experience and I hope to gain an apprenticeship with a tier 1 construction company such as Morgan Sindall upon the completion of my course."
