At The Sovini Group, we are dedicated to creating meaningful employment opportunities as we deliver on our mission of creating opportunities and changing lives. In August 2022, we invited Megan to complete work experience with our talented Health and Safety team, igniting her passion for the field.
After attending an employment fair and learning about the diverse range of career opportunities that the Group offers, Megan was drawn to the Health and Safety sector. She secured a week-long placement with us, which would provide her with invaluable insight into the day-to-day operations of the team.
During her time at the Group, she visited a number of sites to understand the range of responsibilities that would be required of her, should she pursue a career in Health and Safety. From risk assessments to auditing jobs, visiting care homes to assessing the fire safety of high-rise blocks, Megan gained a comprehensive understanding of the many facets of Health and Safety.
“I learned that there is so much more to Health and Safety than telling people to put on a hard hat. There’s a lot of work behind the scenes that people won’t necessarily see.”
After completing her GCSEs, Megan pursued a Level 3 Safety, Health and Environmental Technician apprenticeship with a local engineering company, and has currently spent a year in this role. She credits her time at the Group for guiding her towards this career path.
“Thanks to The Sovini Group, I have found the right road to my future.”
Megan notes that she would recommend work experience to anyone, as this provides an insight into the day-to-day roles and responsibilities of a career pathway, without the commitment. It allows you to determine whether you would enjoy a role or not, whilst opening your eyes to all the different career opportunities within a company.
We are proud to have supported Megan in the early stages of her career, and are thrilled that her time with the Group led her to discovering her passion.
