Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am currently doing care and protection in Ancillaries, I am cleaning pipes on 1-2 of my 3 day week, love the shifts.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
This is the most I have enjoyed any job or learning experience, I think it should be a lot more commonplace.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have gained knowledge on how an engineering workplace operates and feel more confident in the environtment.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Splitting the college work and in house learning was a very good move as this allows me to work shifts.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My jorneyman answers all my questions with an explination and example, they leave me alone if they think I can handle the task, any quearys I have for others I get emails from quit quickly.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
As stated earlier, it's a brilliant system and I get all the support I need. I've never felt like I've been stuck.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It gives me the know how to quickly itendtify worplace problems and figure them out more quickly than if I hadn't had that training.
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
Not that I am aware of athough I haven't looked into it all that much.
