Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working as an actual engineer, given tasks with a low skill floor but also a high ceiling for those who like to push themselves. We have so much support and are put in an amazing environment to thrive.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love it, it's really fun and allows me to use my creativity properly.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
CAD, programming, time management, lab report writing, punctuality

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It's very new so there are a few hiccups, but because the cohort is so small and the staff are so great, problems can be sorted out very quickly and easily. (For newer years)
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Insane amount. Regular 1:1s with our managers and literally any member of staff we want, especially lecturers. We tend to work closely with our line managers, so they are always there to help us.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Insane amount. Regular 1:1s with our managers and literally any member of staff we want, especially lecturers. We tend to work closely with our line managers, so they are always there to help us.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It gives us the skills, knowledge and confidence to do actual 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
They will fund literally anything, this is not a joke. There are loads of clubs and sporting activities.
