Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves electrical, mechanical and public health services. These services are ordered and installed by ourselves, then handed over to our subcontractors of which we manage and supervise throughout their duration on site.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my program but it can be extremely difficult to balance the university work with work as I feel work overpowers university although the university qualification is needed to progress with work.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I feel that I have learned many skills throughout my apprenticeship so far.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is organised decently
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Good support
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Good support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel that I learn more about work in my electrical , mechanical and public health lectures. I struggle to understand where / how the maths side has anything to do with work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes
