Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Attend college full-time
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
Not wholeheartedly, there are many elements which subtract from the enjoyment that could be had
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
1/5
Nothing that was provided by either my company or training provider.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
I can't entirely factor this down to the restricted information involved with the apprenticeship however there is some general and extremely broad overview of what the apprenticeship will be over the 3.5 years however because of politics which are very visible, the roadmap is clearly obscured because of this
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Very evident staff shortage which puts stress on the remaining staff.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I have no real idea what my role is, information so far has been pretty vague. A small talk has been given by the relevant departments I will be involved with but no real relevant experience has so far been convincingly offered or made relevant
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
Not made aware of any
