Before heading to Parliament I joined first and second year construction students from South Staffordshire College at the new town centre site.
It was great to be able to talk the students and answer their questions about my career as a civil engineer. The students have the unique opportunity to learn about construction and safety on the site of the new college building.
It was also a chance for students and staff to talk to the team at Kier and find out more about the project and how it is taking shape - whilst getting some hands on experience of a working construction site.
The new building is really coming on and will soon be popping above the hoardings ready for completion early next year!
I’m looking forward to visiting again as it progresses and I’ll keep you updated.
