Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am based on site. Daily activities include organising and managing works on site, maintaining health and safety, attending progress meetings.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am really happy within my role and the programme itself.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, not only have I developed a greater technical knowledge, I have developed skills such as leadership, teamwork and communication.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is very well organised. We are given provisional dates far in advance and then this is followed with a schedule of events and training taking place. This allows time to book this out and allow limited impact on job role and personal life.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Lots. There is good, clear communication with our emerging talent team and we are made well aware of the support that is out there if we require it. the team are easy to reach and always helpful.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There is lots of support from our training provider. We have tri-partite reviews with our skills reviewer and my manager where we discuss the apprenticeship. I also have a designated tutor who I can speak to when I need support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The qualification does link directly to my role however my biggest problem is that my training revolves around building houses and working to national housing standards.However, as I work on larger projects this isn't always relevant nor accurate.
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, we have events within my persnoal team and with other apprentices.
