Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
In my apprenticeship I switch placements every 6 months so this changes my day-to-day roles. However, over the last 7-8 months I have had loads of good opportunities such as going along to supplier meetings, learned new processes, I've had tours around the site, networked with a range of different people and so much more.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I thoroughly enjoy my apprenticeship.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have been able to develop my interpersonal skills such as my confidence as this is something that I struggled with however, this apprenticeship has really helped me to develop that skill. Also as well as interpersonal skills I have also learnt how to grasp different projects and the processes that come along with each placement.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It's well organised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
A good amount of support and it's catered to how much you need (if you ask for extra support you will receive it) so you never feel unsupported.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Our sessions every fortnight as well as the opportunity to ask questions whenever you need to.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
