Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

A wide range of stuff such as going to faults, fallen poles, lines needing to be replaced, underground cables and going to sub stations

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

Haven't done any of the fun stuff yet such as being out on the job so couldn't say for sure but I am excited to start.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

3/5

Currently I only have done online classes, so listening and keeping attention for long stretches of time while looking at a laptop are existing skills that have been improving.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

So far the organisation has been on point nothing has been cancelled or moved around to anyone's inconvenience.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

We had several online meeting about the support we will receive from the company. I was amazed from all the different support measures that were in place such as money problems, mental health problems or just anything to be honest. It showed SSE had its employees backs ,made me feel really valued.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

Currently if we had any issues or didn't understand something we would shoot an email to our lecturer and they would help us as soon as possible. Really good support.

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

5/5

I feel it would give me a better understanding of my role and safety aspects of my job. This will make me a better employee and more efficient its a win/win.

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

So far covid has closed mostly all extra activities so I will have to see in the future but I have heard great things.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend SSE to a friend?

Yes

Why?

The company really cares and supports its employees. SSE has a living wage and pays fair tax all round good Morals. The company is striving higher each year and their potential gets higher each year.
