Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

One day a week I am at college carrying out BTEC lessons. The rest of the week I am on site working in different departments across the company, learning many different skills.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have enjoyed the programme so far, I enjoy coming to work each day and believe it is a good career path for my future.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have learnt many skills, mostly related to my job, learning a lot about electronics. I have also learnt transferable skills and networking skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Very well organised at work, a pre planned structure of where we will work is decided and we are given a layout of what to expect. College could be more well organised and structured.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My employer is always happy to help with any issues I have and offers great advice in regards to the apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Leadership staff are supportive and inclusive, however, some tutors not so much. there could be improvements on lesson structure and teaching methods to assist all learners.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Without my qualification, I would have very little knowledge about any of the tasks I carry out at work.
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
Many events are available. Employee resource groups that host social events and 'catch ups'. company sports teams are also available.
