Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
1/5
Completing maintenance on systems based on a shedule
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
The job I'll get at the end is good, the apprentice program is a laughable mess. The leadership only pay lip service to feedback and there is a pervasive attitude of 'its not my job'. This leaves power vaccumes that are filled by people who have no business managing anything and think themselves one step short of gods

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
1/5
Barely

Get your quads elsewhere and get a job afterwards with Babcock. You are literally paid more for the first 3 years by coming in from external that completing an apprenticeship with them
