Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My current placement is within the capability centre and ive been working in the digital team. My day-to-day role is often fairly different each day and depends on the progress the team has done and what help they need supporting with.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Ive enjoyed this programme as this was my first full-time job and wasnt sure about what to expect. This programme has been very informative and engaging and i go into work everday looking forward to learning more.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Ive learnt a lot regarding the digital side of business and how important all these systems are to help people complete day-to-day activities. Ive also learnt a lot about what the business environment is like and the importance of collaborative work.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I would say may programme is structured very well and i know how my apprenticeship is going to run. I believe all the key thingshave been thought through and already in place before i started.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
There is lots of levels of support during my apprenticeship. An apprentice with Rolls-Royce is set with an Apprenticeship development leader, a mentor, a buddy as well as support from each placement through the line managers as well as other members of the team. So there is lots of support available.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Likewise to Rolls-Royce, there is lots of support available at University. You are matched with a mentor throughout the programme. There is lots of support through services that they offer which can help with subjects as well as the lecturers being very approachable and always available to answer any questions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I believe that the University Course is very much related to my job role and i feel that i can relate what's being learnt to my job. This helps me to develop in my role as i have knowledge about it which can help me.
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
Ive not personally yet been apart of any yet but i know that there is lots of groups which you can join and i know my team tries and does a night out of office to get together. So there is lots of options and is something that i may consider in the future.
