Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role involves learning the trade hands-on while assisting the trained engineers in various plumbing tasks. I'm actively involved in all work, gaining a great understanding and my days are a mix of learning, working, and gradually taking on more responsibilities as I build my skills and knowledge.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel that my qualification through my training provider has significantly enhanced my ability to perform in my role. The training provided a strong foundation of knowledge, practical skills, and industry-relevant insights that I can apply directly to my day-to-day responsibilities. It also boosted my confidence and problem-solving capabilities, enabling me to take on tasks more efficiently and contribute more effectively to the team.
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
Yes, there are a few great extra-curricular activities to get involved in at work. We have a monthly company breakfast which is a nice way to catch up with colleagues in a more relaxed setting. There are also yearly events like our summer social and Christmas party, which are always well-organized and a lot of fun. These events help build a strong sense of community and give everyone a chance to connect outside of the usual work environment.
