Overview of Role

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

5/5

Every day has been different and I have been very happy with the progress so far.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of this course and I know that each day is going to be different.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

From the first day I have learnt a whole new skill set. The apprenticeship will continue to help me to develop new skills and there is opportunity to continue this within Babcock once I have qualified.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

The programme is extremely well organised, I feel that if I ever had any problems I could rely on the course tutors, ADM's and ADL's for support.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I feel very supported by my employer.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

The support has been there since day one, with clear goals and realistic expectations.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

Working towards the qualifications sits well with the practical work as it makes us aware of what is required from us. It helps to give us a better understanding of the skills and outcomes we will achieve.

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

We have access to online groups which we can join, these are great for diversity and inclusion.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Babcock International Group to a friend?

Yes

Why?

Babcock is an extremely good employer, they want you to succeed and to be the best you can be. They will invest in you and this is a hard thing to find with most employers. I would highly recommend working for them.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Babcock International Group?

Be prepared for all of the stages before interview.
Very important - Look at the sample questions and do the practice pages before answering online, it is timed but try to relax and do your best.
Practice for the interview (If it is still online recruitment) before recording yourself, you only have two takes.
