Dundee & Angus College took first place in the CIOB in Scotland Student Challenge held at the Apex Hotel, Dundee, in February.
It was a great day for the Angus area with Dundee University teams 1 and 2
taking second and third place. Eight teams from further education colleges and universities across Scotland took part.
The event involves the students working in their own groups competing against other teams. The project brief gives them the opportunity to implement creative thinking, tests analytical skills and requires a professional presentation to the judges, BBC Apprentice style.
The winning team – Adam McArtney, Helen Cran, Jessica Dursley and Andrew Elliott – received the prize of one week’s work experience, donated by the main sponsor, Robertson Group, along with vouchers, a trophy and a winner’s cup.
The event finished with a networking careers fair provided by Robertson Construction, CCG (Scotland), McLaughlin & Harvey, Tilbury Douglas, Morgan Sindall, Balfour Beatty and McTaggart Construction.
