Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role primarily involves reporting to check managers to receive work, working to a high standard, learning while working, building my logbook, working towards my NVQ Level 3, keeping up-to-date with emails, and online training, and attending STEM events.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
There is a large measure of satisfaction when I complete a job I have been assigned, and I get along well with my peers and colleagues.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have largely developed my hand skills while working in the different hangars to a good standard. I believe my communication and punctuality have also improved as an effect of talking with engineers, and responding to emails in a timely manner.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Even though my apprenticeship programme has only been running for a few years, it has a surprising amount of structure, and organisation.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My managers are readily available to talk to whenever I need to.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The back-and-forth can be slow, but this is a given as our assessors have a lot of apprentices to handle.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Writing up task reports and knowledge evidence documents can help us to consolidate some of the things that we have learned.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are a plethora of STEM events that we can choose to attend as a STEM ambassador.
