Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
On a day-to-day basis, I complete temporary traffic management drawings for various different clients. These design drawings are used by operatives on the road to put out signs and cones in order to direct traffic around round works. I also complete various other tasks such as company documents.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I couldn't have asked for a better program, the support I have received from my management has been the best I could've asked for. The opportunities I have been given and awards I have won throughout my apprenticeship have given me the best start to my career I could've asked for.

Skills Development

5/5
I have learnt lots of new skills since starting at Consilium, not just within the engineering and traffic management industry, but I have also developed as a person so much, my professional attitude and overall confidence has grown so much.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Although I was the first apprentice, the program was all ready really well prepared for, I could tell a lot of work had gone in behind the scenes from management to ensure this, and the organisation and structure has only improved for me and the apprentices following me.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support from my employer has been incredible, I received so much support in regards to ensure college work is completed to the best standard it could be (in works time), I have been given the opportunity to go on various training course to help with my day-to-day job as well as college modules and even my personal life.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I received a good amount of support from my training provider in all my modules as well as support regarding my off the job hours and ensuring that we as a company were doing things the correct well. The communication between the college and my employer has been really good and helped me throughout my apprenticeship.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
All though not directly linked to my role, during the completion of my qualification, I leant a lot of industry related knowledge that helped me better understand our clients roles and enable me to build a better relationship with, understanding their requirements whilst maintaining high health and safety requirements.
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
Apprentices are given the opportunity to attend multiple events. I attended the Highways UK event at the NEC most years of my apprenticeship which gave me really good network opportunities. We also have a Christmas due to promote team bonding.
