Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I'm a third year apprentice, out on placement day to day. I spend my time working with the maintenance associates on site in order to what it is that they do so that I can hope to do it when I finish my apprenticeship. There is also paperwork to complete along side this which allows for me to show what it is that I do day to day and what I am learning.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I have really enjoyed the program. There is always something new to learn you just have to ask, and there is a lot of variety due to different jobs being completed day to day and the placements that you do throughout.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have advanced many different skill by doing this job. Most of them practical, but others that can be used else where. Such as teamwork, independence and fault finding abilities.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I believe that it is very well organised as I know what I am doing ahead of time and I never feel lost.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Any support I ask for I will receive, you just have to ask.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Any support I ask for I will receive, you just have to ask.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It has taught me skills that allow me to work day to day and complete jobs that I did not think I would need.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There is a news letter and a Charity team for apprentices to get readily involved in.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?
Yes
Why?
They are very inclusive and they will support you in what you want to do. Also, it allows you to understand what it is like to work for a larger company. We get the opportunity to train for a good amount of time side by side with the people that we will be working with in the future.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?
It can sometimes feel overwhelming but all of the work you receive, you do get time to complete while you are at work, especially in your first year. Make sure to try your hardest and put the maximum effort in, in order to get the most out of it, but also because you may need to use your work in the future.
