Life after University: What are my Options?

The University assignments and exams are now done (finally!), however the question still lingers on 'what do I do now?'. Well....Firstly, Congratulations for completing your degree!

We know you’ll likely get bombarded with many questions from loved ones and this can be quite pressurising (especially when you haven’t fully thought on what you want to do).

No need for you to panic though - We’re here to help our community of Graduates and we want you to be well informed so you can make a well-thought-out decision on your next step! If you have no idea on what to do after completing your undergraduate degree, here are some options you can think about for your next step:

Work Experience: Internship or Graduate Scheme?

As a new graduate within the Construction Industry, work experience opportunities are great ways to gain real world experience in an area of interest! Internships are also chances for you to get your foot in the door at a company that you really want to work for.

In Construction, Graduate jobs and Graduate Schemes are great entry-level roles to help you gain exposure, skills and experience in the Industry. Graduate schemes in particular are amazing - they include a mix of skill training and hands-on experience over the period of 2 years and usually expose you to different departments within a Construction company and the stages of Construction!

Depending on the career role within Construction that you want to do, a Graduate Traineeship is also a good option to consider! It is similar to a Graduate scheme, however it provides a blend of learning and working in one industry department/role instead. Traineeships are good to help graduates transition into the Construction Industry.
