South Bank UTC Careers Day

Yesterday, Keegans colleagues, Yeheyes Tesfaye and Brian Smith paid a visit to South Bank UTC to speak with the year 10s about a career in Building Surveying.

In a class of 10 students, Yeheyes and Brian spoke about their school and career paths that led to them becoming Building Surveyors, what the job role involves and how broad the job description can be. Following this, they spoke about some of the projects they are currently working on peaking the students interest with some asking to complete their work experience placement at Keegans!

“Funny enough, myself and Brian had gone through the college route before attending University and in that, we felt we have a lot in common with the students. We told them we are proof that if the conventional way doesn’t work, there are other alternatives as long as you work hard and are dedicated to becoming a professional Building Surveyor.” – Yeheyes Tesfaye

Thank you, Molly from Construction Youth Trust, for helping us organize this fantastic opportunity to provide insight and inspiration to the students of South Bank UTC and thank you Yeheyes and Brian, you may have just inspired a career in Building Surveying!
