Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
My role as an apprentices consists of learning skills at the manufacturing plant and learning new skills at college
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
Our program had a bumpy start and i feel like it lacks variety. hence it gets dull and boring very quickly.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
i learned how to weld and use a lath. I have also been able to develop my communication and organization skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
the program was not organized at all i felt lost and anxious most days
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
i receive positive support from my manager and any questions and issues i have are always answered
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
very little, we aren't given much help or information when it comes to course work. We are expected to just use the internet to answer them which gets very confusing.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
It doesn't feel like what we do at college relates much to what we do at the manufacturing plant.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are some activities available. However i feel like these activities arent advertised enough

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?
No
Why?
It feels very boring and unorganized As everyday is the same, 8 hours in a factory doing the same thing over and over again
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?
If your someone whos enjoys working in an area where your doing the same thing constantly then rolls Royce is perfect for you. If your someone that gets bored easily and need constant stimulation then i would not recommend rolls Royce.
