Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am on a four monthly placement rotation around different departments in the company so my daily role changes often.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Both

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Internally with the training department, not very organised with arranging our placements/reviews. With the College, again not always entirely organised due to this being a new apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
What I have learnt from the business admin qualification hasn't necessarily enhanced my skills within the workplace as the departments I work in are technical based and don't require administration more business skills. Project management learning has helped me perform better in my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes lots. I have been on various committees for Flying Start Challenge, Cool Aeronautics, AWASA etc.
In March 2020 I had the opportunity to visit the HMS Prince of Wales.
