production apprentice Review

day to day role depends on what department you are in, you rotate through many departments through the three years of the apprenticeship, where you are meant to shadow a co worker and they should be teaching you the skills you need for the role which you will eventually put into practice with their supervision

in terms of the second half of my apprenticeship (due to the change of management and supervision) has increasingly been well structured apart from certain issues concerning potential future training, the first half of my apprenticeship felt like a mess, i wasn't been treated appropriately for my position and i wasn't being trained or overlooked. however things have changed for the better

I receive a large amount support from my employer in all aspects, they are very involved in my college work and keep me on my toes as well as supporting me whilst i'm in placements around the plant, we communicate weekly and make sure i am doing well or if i have any issues that needs addressing

my training provider is very supportive when it comes to getting qualifications, they are always checking in on paperwork and coursework as well as making sure i have enough evidence for my portfolio. if they feel like you are lacking in areas they will try and work with the employer to get you back up to speed

my qualification only helps me to perform better in my role when in comes to core hand on skills, the rest doesn't feel very related to one another due to the unique work at rolls-royce, you are prepared more for the role at work then you are when training

Yes

although it hasn't always been the case, the apprentice program is very well built and is managed well by managers and supervisors alike, however this has been through a lot of pushing for better treatment. i will always wish i joined a year or two later then i did
