A lot of support, they have put me through a lot of courses to help me improve in the work I do with more courses planned in the future

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

2/5

The qualification that I am going through at college will help me to some extents but the stuff I learn doesn’t help me in the workplace. I understand knowledge about electrics but the stuff I learn at college is domestic which isn’t what I touch at all in the workplace.

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

There are many different extra curricular activities available to me if I wanted to participate

Why?

Having a role in such a big company yet feeling like they appreciate what your doing is rare. Feels like a big family and the opportunity’s and time they put into me is massive
