Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
The day-to-days tasks will including following SOI which is a standards that we have to follow. The daily tasks can be challenging at times but very rewarding! I would suggest this apprenticeship to anyone interested as it’s very good. Other tasks that we have to do is our college work.

I really enjoy the programme which I am on at the minute. I gain a lot of new information and experience from each day that I work on site. The knowledge that I have gained from both the factory and college will help me in my career at a later date.

5/5
Yes there are extra curricular events that we have both do on site or even at the college after our working hours. These will include stuff like sporting activities and social events. It very important to try and take part in one to gain friends that will help you through this course

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Airbus to a friend?
Yes

I would highly recommend airbus to anyone that is looking to get an apprenticeship. It’s one of the best ones to have in the local area and the knowledge and experience we gain will help you so much. There are even opportunities to go work aboard at a different country.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Airbus?
To ensure to complete all college woek as soon as possible it’s very important to achieve all the deadline that airbus set for you to complete the course and get a good career at the end. I would recommend to gain some information on airbus to ensure that this is the job for you
