Visits to Industry

“At Laing O’Rourke we have a vision to challenge and change the image of construction.  An element of this change is to engage with students through site visits to link business with education.  Such visits can be an invaluable tool to give students an insight into the industry and discuss exciting career opportunities as well as assist in bringing curricular learning to life”
