Glowing feedback has been coming in from employers (see below), who consistently rated students’ attitude, communication, problem solving, teamwork and independence as ‘excellent’. 100% of employers would host a Tormead student again, so we now have a fabulous list of contacts for the next set of students completing work experience!
