Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am responsible for learning about the product we deliver to the customer. I learn about mechanical engineering primarily with information regarding other disciplines.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
Some sections are enjoyable, some less so. People can be a pleasure to work with or not so enjoyable. I enjoy learning, but do not enjoy the structure of the programme.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
I have developed on current skills and also learned new skills, though not as much as I probably could have if the scheme were more refined.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The organisation and structure of the programme are extremely poor, though it has been refined with a more permanent manager.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Support is provided if required, and are willing to go a bit further to help you out.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The training provider will give help and support where possible.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Not so much, the market is rather niche for the apprenticeship scheme to be totally applicable.
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
Non applicable.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Babcock International Group to a friend?
No
Why?
If the scheme were more refined I would refer, however final market salary is not competitive, though other benefits are there.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Babcock International Group?
Consider options before committing, workload may not be stable.
