Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Working on real projects at Dyson 3 days a week immersed in a variety of engineering teams. Study and lectures two days a week
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
It's very hard work and stressful at times, but rewarding to think of the future prospects having been through the programme.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Overcoming barriers and managing change. Communication and people skills massively improved by being in a real-life work environment. Resilience too
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
We are tied with Warwick Manufacturing group who are not very organised, however it is shifting to being delivered fully by Dyson and they are much more organised. The structure is well thought out.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
As much support as we need from many different people - couldn't ask for much more support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Again, as much support as needed, from multiple different backgrounds
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The knowledge we learn in the course can be applied to situations on the job.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Lots of social opportunities, mostly with other undergraduates but also social events within the workplace team.
