Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
As a 40 year old, I do find it’s not quite for me. Although I know it’s something I need to do to progress my career. It’s just hard getting back into a learning mentality, (and sometimes being treated like a kid)
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Learning new skills, and I suppose also developing on existing skills. I’m learning new engineering techniques, how you set and run new machinery.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Seems well organised, but saying that, with the year we’ve had (COVID). It’s been a challenge.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employers have been great. Allowing me the time to get work done. It’s a course which should hopefully benefit both of us in the long run.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Can’t fault the support we are given.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I believe it will help to some degree, but then again in all honesty, I could work with a colleague at work and probably be able to run the machine within a few days. Doing the course gives me a better understanding, but again in Rolls-Royce, if you are a machinist, you can’t alter or change programmes if there is a issue.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
In my workplace, we do a few social activities on team days. We also finish a hour early on a certain day of the week, where we play football or do a hours gentle exercise.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Rolls-Royce to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Fantastic company to work for. Well looked after with excellent benefits.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Rolls-Royce?
DO IT. As long as your self motivated and prepared to work, you should have a long and rewarding career. ( pre COVID anyway)
