Company visits
We feel that it is important for you to see how a company, often in a similar field to your own, operates within the UK. The visit usually begins with a presentation by a senior manager or MD, and concludes with a tour of the company and a Q&A session. We offer guided visits to a range of companies within Sheffield and the Yorkshire region.
For those who are working within the public sector we can arrange visits to publicly run institutions such as: The Sheffield Crown Courts, The Houses of parliament, Local Council Offices, Schools, Police and Fire Stations.
We will prepare you for these visits.
