Overview of Role

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

5/5

I have orientations across the cement plant, learning about the process engineering of cement manufacturing and maintenance procedures.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I enjoy coming to work every morning as I get to experience something new and learn different things everyday.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have developed my communication, management and engineering skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

The programme is very structured as I have regular meetings with my university professors and my line managers to discuss my progress at university and at work. I also have set learning targets that I need to achieve every month.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I receive a lot of support as I receive a lot of trainings and company benefits from my employer. I have a lot of people with whom I can speak to if I am struggling at work.

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

5/5

My university professors do their best to ensure that I am fully supported with all the education materials and they are always happy to answer any questions that I have about certain work-related topics.

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

5/5

Everything that I have and will learn is closely related to what I am exposed to on a daily basis. I always refer to my university notes when I am struggling to understand certain processes at work.

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

I am involved in a Core Skills Development Programme where I get to meet different people from different parts of the business to build my network and also learn from others' experiences while having the chance to visit other sites around the UK.
