Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
In my job role I make and put together job pieces to the correct sizes, shapes and angles
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
I really enjoy my role in fabrication but we haven’t had a teacher for 5 months for our classroom days and when we do have classroom days it is just going through a PowerPoint as a group and taking notes and then maybe doing a worksheet at the end

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed skills that I only knew a little about and I have learnt new skills because I have never done fabrication before

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The programme is not as organised or structured as it could be and I think they need to have a looked at everything and try to sort it out. We should also get time out of the workshop to do our written work so the people that can’t really do it at home have a chance to do it I am one of these because by the time we finish then when I get home it’s nearly six o’clock and I just want to unwind from the day not do few more ours of work
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
At the moment I’m not sure that there is the right amount of support from them because some people might be struggling with work and might not want to talk to the people at college about it they might want to talk to someone from the actual company
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
There is more that the training provider could do to help when we are working towards our qualifications instead of making us do workshop every single day apart from classroom learning day and Friday they could make sure we have a day a week to do some of our written work to make sure none of us are stressing out about it
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think it will really help in the future because when we are learning it is stuff we need to know for our job role down the line
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
There are sport teams but I don’t really do sport
