Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
At the moment, in full time college, but from what i understand, the role will involve the software maintenance of the machines use on site.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
A lot, couldn't get a better opportunity. I'm extremely lucky
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Just knowledge from my limited time on site. bettered my programming skills in college and understanding of wider engineering techniques.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Very well handled considering the circumstances of covid 19. Lots of online learning!
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
All the support I need. I feel comfortable asking for any help or ideas that will increase my productivity.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
enough to get me through my qualification i believe. We are very limited as to how much help can be given due to online learning.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Not onsite however I understand more of the programming of PLCs because of the training provider and i hope this accelerates my performance on site.
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
Yes so many! There are lots of opportunities to get involved in this and it seems everyone is given the same chance to do so.
