Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

The programme is thoroughly enjoyable because it allows you to achieve a qualification through evidencing day-to-day work rather than through knowledge recall in exams. There is opportunity to do placements around the site, giving plenty of opportunity for development.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have developed numerous new skills in the Project Management environment and have significantly developed my knowledge and awareness of the engineering environment too. This has been made possible by my very supportive team who have allowed me to get involved in both aspects of the projects we work on.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

The programme is well organised and allows for various development paths. The company is outstanding at playing to the individuals strengths and will support them in doing what they enjoy.
I have monthly check-ins with my external training advisor which are always productive and I have been allowed to structure my programme as I wish and upload work in a manner that I prefer i.e. I can upload work to various units rather than completing one unit and then starting another if I wish.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

My team is extremely supportive of my apprenticeship qualification and allow me to get involved with various tasks both engineering and PM where relevant. The company has provided me with plenty of opportunities cross-sector and I have been lucky enough to travel all over the UK.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

My training provider is very supportive and has allowed me to tailor my apprenticeship as I wish.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

The qualification suits the job role due to it being completely evidence based. This perfectly suits my learning and has allowed me to fully immerse myself in the business.

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

There have been a good amount of opportunities with my team to go out on social activities. Sports teams are not well advertised however I am aware of a few on-site. I have been lucky enough to attend networking events with various members of staff however it would be nice to see more apprentice and graduate focussed ones in the future.
