Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
Currently, I am in my first year at Babcock. This involves daily college attendance, with two days being at city college and then 3 days at oceans gate.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
In my experience of the apprenticeship it hasn’t been bad. but there isn’t really much for me to be able to go off due to what I am doing during this first year.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
1/5
At this present moment, I do not feel that I have learnt adequate skills for the apprenticeship. I feel that in the long run of the apprenticeship this may affect me.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
At the moment for the higher apprenticeship i feel the organisation has been very poor, this is to do with many aspects that have come up during my time here. A main one is that the communication with me as student, the college and babcock this first year hasn’t been great.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Currently, there’s been no cause for me to seek support from my employer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
There has been some support received, but for the first few months it was very poor and I feel that I have just been pushed to the side
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I am doing a level 4 b-tech in engineering. this will be very useful for the career i’m currently pursuing within Babcock.
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
At this moment in time there is nothing.
