On reflection of her first 3 months with CC, Elise said "...already I can reflect on a lot of things I'm gaining from this industry experience that being in a classroom just can’t be taught. My knowledge of building surveying is widening daily, my brain's being tested & I'm gaining confidence within the industry that I wouldn’t get from not completing a placement year.
