Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
For 9 months I am learning the labeller and working through the grading system, after that I will move onto the filler for 9 months and work through the filler grades.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
We are on a day release to college to complete the process operator qualification and its really good, it interesting and I've learned a lot from it. The college tutor is also very helpful and a good teacher.

5/5
My root cause analysis and fault finding/solving have definitely gotten better as well as being more comfortable using tools and operating machinery.

5/5
It's structured really well and we are getting additional perks such as getting fork lift licenses and first aid training.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
If there's anything (within reason) I need, whether it's time off work to complete college assignments or if its putting us in contact with someone within the business to help with an assignment.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
He goes through the work and whats expected, from the get go he went through the whole course and how the end point assessments would be structured,so there would be no surprises.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It gives me a deeper understanding as to why we do things a certain why, whether its standard operation procedures or specific targets the company wants to achieve.
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
Thr company has built a gym onsite for the staff to use, as well as month prize draws on our social club.
