Here’s what one of our previous graduates have to say about the programme:
Graduate Trainee
“The graduate scheme with Brett is very varied and challenging, many of the projects highlight the present and future value that the Brett group recognises in its graduates. The culture in Brett is very inclusive, safe and welcoming, everyone is very friendly and there is always help at hand.
I have found the experience to be really fun and worthwhile, I have especially enjoyed being able to visit all of the Brett sites and gain an insight into how the business operates from every point of view.”
