Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Two days a week I go to college to complete my electrical engineering HNC in preparation for my degree. The rest of the week I work in a placement role within the business.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The program is very involving and also rewarding. I enjoy it greatly as there's always support if ever needed and I feel its a great program to be a part of.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've become more independent, developed my time management skills, developed my confidence and also grown my knowledge in my area for work placement.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
With recent events and having to adapt to this, I feel the program has been very well structured and organised to give us the best introduction to the company.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
If I ever need support there is plenty of people that I am able to contact and know that they will be willing to help. Regular check ups can also help to keep me on track and allow me to ask any questions.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
With work being online I am able to contact my training providers whenever I need and they will help me with any questions or troubles I am having.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel it is suited to my role as an engineer as I learn basic principles that are able to be applied during my placement roles.
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
There's plenty of extra-curricular activities, these are called stretch activities in the work place. There's also social activities arranged with other employees such as football at the local artificial pitches.
