Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
I’m employed as a joiner but currently have done a very small amount of joinery work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
It can be good, but not as good as I expected due to lack of joinery work.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I’ve learnt domestic joinery at college which I have then transferred to my role in the company.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Structure and organising at college are great, on site it’s not as organised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Not the best I’ve received from a job, but not the worst.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
We haven’t begun doing the work we require to complete our portfolio yet.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
You need to be trained as a joiner in order to be a joiner so the qualification is needed to do the job.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Not really.
