Discovering the Perfect Fit: Jade’s Journey Begins at Pegasus
Jade, a 23-year-old recent graduate from Oxford Brookes University, embarked on a unique journey to find her passion. Initially uncertain about her career path, Jade explored various opportunities, including working in an estate agency and backpacking, before discovering her love for urban design. Her foundation course at Oxford Brookes sparked her interest, leading her to pursue a degree in Urban Design, Planning and Development.
It was while at university that Jade first learned about Pegasus and its graduate scheme. She spoke with representatives from Pegasus at a built environment fair and the company’s mentoring system and commitment to graduate development instantly appealed to her.

The team is so approachable, and I feel comfortable asking for help whenever I need it,” said Jade.

Pegasus is very open to getting me involved and teaching me, which is amazing” Jade explained.
