Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work alongside machinists to develop new skills to become a competent machine operator.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy every aspect of the programme.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I’ve learnt many new skills mostly specific to the machines the company uses to manufacture components.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is fairly well organised. COVID 19 meant that many of the courses I had to take were postponed but I will still be doing all of them in time.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
All of the employees are there to offer support as well as any manager. Rolls-Royce offers a very respectful and supporting working environment.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Whenever any help is needed there is more than one person I know I can seek advice from. If I have any questions or concerns about college work I can contact any of the college staff at any time to get support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Many of the skills I learn at the college are transferable as well as giving me a better understanding of how everything works 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.)
5/5
I was part of a 5-a-side football team with work before the pandemic. However there are many other activities I could take part in if I wanted.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Rolls-Royce to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Excellent working environment, very understanding and knowledgeable colleagues who are always happy to help, very strong sense of community, I always feel valued.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Rolls-Royce?
Never be afraid to ask any questions no matter how stupid they sound. Stick in and do the work that’s given to a good standard.
