Graduates, trainees and apprentices completed problem-solving challenges like this raft race
Learning the fun way
May Gurney's 2007 'Starting Out' candidates - graduates, trainees and apprentices - experienced networking the May Gurney way when they teamed up with existing trainees and senior managers to complete (and compete in) several problem-solving challenges, including high rope climbing and building and racing rafts, at the Bramley Lakes Outdoor Pursuit Centre, Norfolk, in September.
"It was a very enjoyable and valuable experience," said new recruit Crystal Tse from Utility Services, whose sector won the opening it's-a-knock-out style challenge. "All the graduates, site-based trainees and apprentices who attended left feeling involved and important to the company."
The induction day is an annual event designed to help trainees develop a practical understanding of May Gurney's vision, develop contacts within the company, understand policies and procedures, and set expectations of how their development will be managed during their career with the company.

Liz Sugden, Starting Out Officer, said: "It's an excellent way for the candidates to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere, and a fun and enjoyable way to start their careers with us."
Antony Cotterill, Graduate Recruitment Officer, added: "It's also a chance for us to share our vision of where the company's going, and how they'll play a valuable role in helping us achieve our goals."
