Overview of Role

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

3/5

Setting out and surveying.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

Most of the time, I really enjoy work however sometimes it may get hard as it is difficult being a female in construction.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

3/5

How to use Total Stations and GPS and Levels

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

2/5

My college is in Hull so it is quite difficult to do all my college lessons over the internet. I have not yet had a progress meeting with my manager after a year.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

2/5

I receive a lot of support from HR and there are lots of options online for support however my mentor is a trainee himself so sometimes its difficult to get all the support i need.

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

1/5

My training provider takes a very long time to mark my work and it tends to make me fall behind. Communication is a very big problem at my college and I have had 4 different tutors in one year.
