I receive a great amount of support from my employer and I always feel there is someone who I can go to for help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

not a great amount as during COVID 19 my year was cut short, I have had problems with getting in contact with the college as things are unusual at this time
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

almost not at all, very little of what I learn at college is useful at work
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
I'm unaware at this moment but I believe so

Yes
Why?
Cummins is a incredible international company with hundreds of opportunities to work allover the world. Each staff member is looked after with great care

be prepared for a hard working apprenticeship as nothing good in life comes easy. The workload balancing college, projects and helping during my rotation can be stressful but you must be strong minded and sociable.
