Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Assisting in the production of a weekly Radio show by researching, recording and editing content. As well as this, working across live broadcasts and music sessions.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
It was a really great experience, even the worst days are pretty okay.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Recording, editing, filming, writing, research.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Probably could be structured a little better in places, However, given this was the first year they had run this course so given that it really was pretty good.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Lots from the team I worked with directly, they were there for me throughout.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Again, excellent support on the college side of things.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Not sure if having the qualification makes me any better at my role now, but helpful when applying to new ones.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Not particularly, however the apprentices made an effort to go out some evenings.
