Company overview, Speed interview and Tour
22nd February 2018
This was our first session in the Skills @ Work Programme. Here we got an opportunity to visit our partnered company Veolia Ireland. Veolia Ireland are based in the DCU Innovation Centre in Glasnevin. Before we left, we got a chance to conduct some research about the company itself and learned about what they do.Their motto is: 'Resourcing the World'.
The day started off by Donna Marie (Veolia), Aisling (Veolia), Jenny (Veolia), Sabrina (Veolia) and Aisling (BITC) introducing themselves to us and outlining the agenda for the day. We then met with various employees who worked in the company and were also given the chance to talk to them as part of a speed interview session. This was great fun. There were five employees and we were split into different groups where we got to ask them different questions about their jobs.
We also got a tour of the company. Donna Marie brought us around their open plan office and introduced us to more employees from the various departments. We were given some refreshments before we headed back to the school.
A huge thank you to all the employees who took time out of their busy day to make this an enjoyable experience for us.
Have a look at the video below, it will give you an idea of what we did on the day.
