Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Helping electrical fitters with electrical installation and maintenance.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the fact I am working on board naval vessels.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I am always developing new electrical skills, especially my hands on skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Not very.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I get good support from my team leader and my work colleagues, but I do not hear from the early careers team very often.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I get support when doing my own learning with the knowledge questions and job reports, but there is a lack of communication from my training provider and my workplace as they expect me to be able to do my coursework while being busy at work.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It does not really help my day to day work at all.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
I do not really hear of anything. Only social events.
