“Through my
cadetship I learned a
lot about the construction
industry and about Hawkins in
a short period of time. When I first
began the cadetship at the start of
2017, I was green and didn’t know much
or have any expertise to offer. Since then,
I can confidently say that the people at
Hawkins have shaped me into someone
who will be a useful member of the
next generation of construction
professionals.”
