Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
In the apprenticeship we learn how to maintain equipment within the plant and in the first year we learn how to use different machines such as milling, turning etc... then we use those skills into year 2 where we do placements around the plant in different buildings shadowing the maintenance. We then get put into an area in the 3rd year and stay there and in the forth year we do proper shifts in that area.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I like it as there is always something new to learn everyday

i think there could be more support from the training provider when it comes to working towards our qualifications
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

it does help me perform better, when i come across it within the plant i can work straight on it without having to ask someone else to help me. Using the skills and techniques that i have been taught
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

we have some extra curricular activities but they aren't really well known or talked about much
