Overview of Role

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

3/5

I shadow engineers on site and engineers in sales. I work on a Demo box to help me to learn about the software. I have also backed up devices.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I enjoy the different training. Such as electrical awareness, eco struxure training and ladder training. My placement lacks some structure as there is only two days that I am on site and then the rest of the week I am never sure what I will be doing.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

3/5

I have learnt about different protocols and I have been able to apply what I have learnt to the demo box. I have learnt alot from the training especially electrical but I haven't been able to apply it to my job role yet.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

It is structured to some extent as there is training throughout. However my placement lacks structure as I only have two days on site a week

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I receive a lot of support as we have someone who over sees all the apprentices. I feel like they take on feedback and improve things based on this and are supportive. I do however feel I could have had more support in my placement as my team is new to having an apprentice and I am not on site enough.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

I receive quite a lot of support as they are receptive to feedback. However sometimes they focus on coursework that is not due instead of focusing on coursework that is.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

I am fairly new. I have not yet studied anything that I have used in my role. There are electrical modules coming up however

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 meet up with other apprentices when I am doing training or uni. I am part of a committee that organizes online social events. There are no social events in person however for all apprentices
