Coventry & Derby - Open Days - 2020
In early 2020 we opened our offices at weekends, providing a unique experience for both young people, and guardians to find out more about the culture at Severn Trent.
We went out with the aim to reflect our passion of inspiring young people, showcasing the breadth of opportunity, and offering personal development.
Events were held in both the East and West Midlands, with interactive workshops held to bring to life our operational world. This included the use of Virtual Reality, demos from current apprentices, and activities that bring the Severn Trent values to life. With our goal of continuous improvement, we have exciting plans for 2021 so watch this space.
