Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
decorating- variety of tasks depending on the job from prep work to cutting in to painting ceilings windows walls etc. very wide variety.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
i’d say i enjoy it most days, it’s a very repetitive job especially if your suck in the same job for more than 6 months. however that’s the nature of the job and u just have to keep a open, postitive mind.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
i believe i have not. my people skills have definitely improved. i feel more confident talking about the subject of work and talking to random people.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
i’d say it’s very organised all the resources and support i need is availible to me if asked for.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
i get tremendous amount of support which i’m very greatful for. eg - i get some money back on fuel. which is a huge help as the apprentice wage isn’t great.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
i get a huge amount of support through the college, my college tutor and also the guys i work with on site.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
i’d say they have things like bonuses which if u complete a task on time or to a good standard you are awarded with a little bonus at the end of the week which definetly puts you in the mindset for doing well on a job/task
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
i wouldn’t say so.
