Overview of Role

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

4/5

Assist on the assembly line when required. Learn and help out different areas in the plant.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I am enjoying my placement as it’s suited to me, it’s making me enjoy work a lot more.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have developed on existing skills that I previously had whilst learning new skills. I have developed my hands on skills further and my communication skills have improved a lot.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

It’s getting better however I feel like it could still be improved.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5

We are getting more support and managers are starting to be more aware and they are communicating better.

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

3/5

The support is okay however I feel like in some areas it is lacking. For one lesson we still receive the lesson over teams and it’s making it a struggle to learn.

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

2/5

I don’t feel like it links fully with the job role. I feel like it links in some areas but there is a lot of parts which do not relate.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

4/5

Yes

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I think it is a good apprenticeship and it’s starting to get better. Apprentices are getting heard and things are starting to change. Rolls Royce is a good place to work for and it can help you progress a lot in the future.
