To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The structure at the work place is very well organised, on a college day it is just something everyone is guessing and trying to figure out what they're meant to do so no structure or organisation.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Boeing are extremely caring and will help you find the right support, if you are struggling with something, they never like to see you fail.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
The training provider doesn't seem to know what we need to learn and do not teach us things which would be considered relevant to the job.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
There are no connections, from the training via our actual work, and there are no similarities or structure of what is needed from our college qualification.
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
Various STEM and Engineering events to take part in every so often.
