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 to learn how to be an electrician, I go into collage four days a week and complete a course.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my programme, I am always interested in the classroom about what I am learning about and I enjoy the practical work that I partake in the workshop.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I previously did not know anything about how to be an electrician, I have gained a lot of skills in order for me to become a qualified and skilled electrician.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
There is always a good structure to my programme due to the collage tutors being very knowledgable and helpful.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
We receive an adequate amount of support from our employer, we can contact and arrange to see our collage liaison at anytime and Emily is very helpful if you’re in need of aid.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My training providers give lots of support, if I ever do not understand a situation or problem I can ask them to explain it to me again and they are happy to go over the subject again until I have a better understanding.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My learning from my training provider is teaching me relevant skills that I will need further into my apprenticeship as well as afterwards, they are helping me become a skilled electrician and I see improvement in my work regularly.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
I do not believe we have been offered any extra-cuticular activities as of yet.
