Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Doing the weekly routines in the station. working at sse everyday is never the same. one day i will be working on an outage and the next i could be out in the van travelling and seeing new places and sites.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme because i was able to learn whist on the job but I enjoyed being able to make new friends for life.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learned lots of new skills such as how a hydro system works and how electricity can be generated from natural sources.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme is well structured and I feel as though once out of college there are few problems. There has been some major issues with college assessors however this is not through the fault of SSE.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive support from my colleagues on site everyday and help from management when it is needed.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I had enough support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think the qualifications gave me a good base understanding of engineering however I dont think I use most of the skills studied on a day to day basis.
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
there are no extra-curricular activates.
