Feeling like a part of something bigger, here is Lorenzo's story so far Lorenzo has been at Kier now since September 2024, as a commercial trainee within our Natural Resources, Nuclear & Networks business.🌊 He joined on a degree apprenticeship in quantity surveying; taking an opportunity to gain a degree without taking on a single penny in student debt! 🎓 “I feel like I’m part of something bigger. I know my role in the team and the team’s role in the wider business – it’s really motivating to feel like that."
"Louisa was very attentive and keen to hear about my lived experiences as a woman of colour, and how employers can support underrepresented groups. I came out of the programme really feeling I had left a mark." - Rutendo Manyundwa, graduate quantity surveyor. Kier's Empowerment Programme is designed to support employees from underrepresented groups to develop into leadership roles. Each participant gets paired up with a member of Kier’s senior leadership team, giving both parties the opportunity to share experiences and learn from each other. Graduate surveyor Rutendo Manyundwa was paired with Kier’s chief people office, Louisa Finlay, giving Rutendo the platform to help Louisa understand more about the challenges underrepresented groups face and what needs to be done to support them going forward. In this blog, Rutendo shares her experience on the programme, the skills she’s picked up from it and what a graduate quantity surveyor gets up to at Kier.
