Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am doing 6 5 month placements in different engineering areas. I am given tasks and learning experiences related to the role. I also attend college every Thursday so need to complete assignments and exams. There is a level 4 engineering qualification we are completing alongside and need to complete 4 hours a week on this.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
For the most part it's a really excellent experience.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes both
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Placements could be better organised and communication can be poor. The college's organisation with the modules has a lot of room for improvement.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Have received loads of support for things both in and outside of work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Lots of support both in work and in college.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The learning experience with the college could be better. We miss a lot of content from the disorganisation.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes there are lots of opportunities.
