Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
On a day-to-day basis I usually assist the site manager, however I would prefer if I had more site experience. I feel like I have very little experience in civil engineering and I am being held back from what I could achieve.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the learning side of my programme. The job is ok however more site experience would make it better.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have developed basic skills from on site experience but as I approach my second year I feel like I would be expected to do more.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
I think the program is structed well with the training provider, however not with the company.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
I don't have much contact with my line manager and I feel as if, I would enjoy the program more if I got support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I feel as if they play a good role in my learning I cannot fault them for anything.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I take some information from my learning through to working onsite.
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
unsure due to Covid
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend JN Bentley to a friend?
No
Why?
If the apprenticeship scheme was more structured, I would. As an apprentice I feel as if there is no plan for my development.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to JN Bentley?
If you're able to, get an engineer as your mentor instead of a site manager.
