Cornwall Opportunities
Meet Sam Fisher of Ward Williams Associates who is completing a BS (Hons) Building Surveying degree as part of a Degree Apprenticeship through the University College of Estate Management (UCEM).
Sam has worked on both the Schools Backlog Maintenance Programme and the Farms Programme as part of the Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) Framework. Duties on these projects have included attending weekly site inspections, monthly cost reporting and assisting with design during the procurement stage.
“I enjoy the variety of work which I have experienced right from the start of my apprenticeship. It has allowed me to develop my skills and knowledge, through working alongside more experienced colleagues and seeing firsthand how they work. Being able to work on a variety of projects in Cornwall, across different sectors has given me the opportunity to gain as much experience as possible in the past two years. Linking my degree with my day-to-day work has been extremely helpful as it puts the learning into practice. My experience gained through the workplace goes hand in hand with what I am learning within my studies. Being able to gain invaluable experience from other members of the team, while also completing my degree through UCEM has been a great advantage of the apprenticeship route.” Next Steps
