Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Assisting and learning about the production of the cars throughout the leather shop
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy the workplace aspect, feeling part of the team and to grips with how the plant works. I also enjoy the off work training as well learning and honing skills that I will keep with me and keep developing.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt how to Sew, Embroider, Emboss and upholster parts and seats
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
There’s no specific criteria that I have seen in what we are supposed to be putting into our assessed logbooks but the lecturers do have a good idea about what’s needed as I don’t think they have been given it either
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I can’t fault them on support, there are always people who reassure you that if you need anything or have any problems come to them, bi weekly meetings with managers and mentors etc.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The knowledge they have on the subject seems infinite, no question is left un answered
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It backs up the fundamental aspect of my role of learning the different processes in the plant by providing a proving ground before the real thing allowing me to work through my process witch only affect me not wider production.
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 have heard of things like this but I am yet to see them because of the Coronavirus Pandemic
