What’s it like doing your work experience at ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services?

This month, the team at ServiceMaster Clean Mercia had the pleasure of hosting a work experience placement for a young student.

This blog post has all the details.


Learning Opportunities

Samuel quickly became a valued member of the team, spending his time learning about all aspects of running a commercial cleaning business — from on-site services to behind-the-scenes operations.

Throughout his placement, the team worked hard to ensure he gained a full overview of what it takes to keep things running smoothly, and he got involved in everything from scheduling to quality control, and even explored how we manage customer relationships and business development.


Learning Outcomes

At the end of his time with the team, Samuel presented a fantastic project showcasing his findings and insights from his time at ServiceMaster Clean. His presentation didn’t just reflect what he’d learned, but also included thoughtful suggestions and fresh ideas for ways the business can improve and advance moving forward.

Business Development Manager Mark Harden says it is always useful to receive new insights on the business from someone seeing it with a fresh pair of eyes, and strongly advocates for businesses across all sectors to take on students for work experience.

“Offering students the chance to gain experience in our industry has proven to be a real win-win,” he says.

“It’s rewarding to support future professionals, and we gain valuable new perspectives in return. We’re proud to have been part of Samuel’s learning journey and look forward to welcoming more students in the future!”

“I would highly recommend that any business take the opportunity to offer work experience placements if they can. Not only does it provide young people with valuable insight into the variety of roles within a business like ours, but we also gain fresh perspectives and ideas from the next generation entering the job market!”
