Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I have insight in different departments every 6 months and go to college one day a week to learn the key skills to use at work I will learn what others key roles in the company are and get an understanding of what their goals and work load.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
We get to have a taster of different engineering departments which is great when you aren't sure what specific career route you want to go down, you get to settle into the departments, build networks and learn.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed engineering skills and improved my communication skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
My first year of the apprenticeship was a bit structured it is getting better through the years they are trying out new departments and removing the departments that weren't the best which has improved the structure
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Lots of support i have regular 1-2-1 with my line manager to check that i am comfortable in my department and everything is going well.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
i have college reviews to check that everything is on check and that i am comfortable, most teachers at college are good at supporting with understanding the work
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Yes most of the courses i do at college help me understand the topics that are discussed at work, however there have been some courses that i had to do which have been pointless that aren't close to my role.
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 there have been lots of networking events which is great to meet those that don't work at the same office and build connections with different departments
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Schneider Electric to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I already have, the apprenticeship is a great insight to the work world if you go straight from Secondary school, you get time to adjust, the company looks after their employees well, everyone one at Schneider are welcoming and for me it was local as well.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Schneider Electric?
Research into our company to learn if they would want to work and want to help achieve our goals, as well as if they do get the apprenticeship build many connections and give it your best in whatever you do.
