Overview of Role

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

4/5

we complete electrical exercises in the workshop such as wiring and fitting electrical circuits and in the classroom we spend time doing the theory behind the practical.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I enjoy the things I do in the workshop as I find it very interesting but I also enjoy the people around me and the teachers/instructors

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Yes I have learned how to do many electrical skills such as strip cable, terminate cable, conduit, trunking but also added onto my knowledge of the theory based side which ghelsp me understand the practical

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

2/5

The idea of the structure of the programme is okay but sometimes things go wrong. For example we didn't have OneFile (The programme that logs our coursework) up and running for a couple of months so we have had to adapt around it

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5

Babcock offer support programmes and have trained health supporters for support in that department but also just support on learning is there and many things such as SMARTER targets to support you along your way to excelling

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

2/5

The teaching is good but apart from that there is no other support to help you towards your qualification.

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

4/5

The theory side helps me in the workshop as it makes me have a better understanding of what I am actually doing and this means I am able to see things more clearer and can potentially help others who are struggling.

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

There is supposed to be an end of year event but apart from that there is nothing for us to do from what I know.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Babcock International Group to a friend?

Yes

Why?

With Plymouth being a small city there is not much down here and babcock is one of the biggest in the south west so I would recommend this to someone if they wanted a secure job for the rest of their life.

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

If you are unsure just go for it as there is so much to do within babcock and theres many different fields to work in so if you dont find the right thing for you there is bound to be one else where within babcock
