Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role is to keep the network running. There are so many different tasks you could get given, I love this as no day is the same. For example you could be installing a new router at a customer site, diagnosing a fault at a data center or simple maintenance tasks like replacing fans and filters, building connectors or running in new fiber's.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy the program, it is very well set up and gives you a look into all aspects of the job. Very well paid, college is in block release which I personally think is better and the jobs are hands on everyday. All the engineers are nice and have the patience to teach you. Even in challenging covid times they have done a great job (with PPE and social distancing) at getting us apprentices out on site to assist with jobs.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learned a lot about the how how data is transmitted cross the internet. I new very little about this before this job and you learn so much everyday. This has crossed into my IT skills and helped me develop those.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well organized and structured.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot of support with everything, I am given the jobs I need for college work, there is always someone available if I need help and in general my team is really encouraging.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Lots of support, plenty of resources and the lecturers are always available to email for guidance.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Very well, learning the theory side increases my confidence and helps me understand my role better.
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
Not at the moment due to covid
