Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
During the second year, I spend every Monday at college and throughout the year I spend 4 weeks in a different department where, depending on where I am, I shadow qualified technicians,engineers and fitter/testers and aid them in their role.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love the apprenticeship and personally i believe it is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt how to speak confidently to everyone I meet whilst maintaining eye contact. I have learnt technical skills relevant to my future potential job role
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Despite my enjoyment alot of the onus is put on apprentices to sort EVERYTHING out and sometimes I question what my manager actually does
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
My manager is pretty absent and I have not really had to deal with HR. My mentor differs from placement to placement and they have all been very helpful. As previously mentioned my direct manager does not get involved and when he does he is quite dismissive
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
A decent amount of support, they always upload ALL material relevant to assignments whereas upper management within the college is actually quite toxic and I believe they have an us (college) vs them (apprentices) mentality.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Not entirely relevant as i am learning about engines etc and hardly any electrification based topics
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
No
