Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

my role is an engineering technician, on a day to day this means i am working with quality specialists and teams of associates to find ways to improve the quality, processes or systems in the plants. this can vary from directly working with the cars to working on the logistics systems within the plant.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

i enjoy my programme a lot of the time. most days it is like going to work with my friends everyday and it is very enjoyable. sometimes though it can be very stressful, sometimes unorganised and this makes it harder. mostly though it is an enjoyable course to be on

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

i have learnt many new skills during my time in the apprenticeship, i have learnt about 5s, productivity as well as practical skills such as milling, drilling, turning, hand skills, electrical wiring, soldering, welding and fluid power. i have built on my skills of using computer software such as CAD and putting together more proficiency in excel

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

the general structure is very good, the 3 monthly placements are well organized. however when in the placements sometimes the day to day structure can be unorganized and sometimes having lots of free time where not much is going on, this has been exaggerated this year due to COVID however it is understandable.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5

I receive a lot of support from my employer, whenever i need help with work related or college related issues my training manager is always happy to help.
