Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
The apprenticeship involves 6 placements throughout its duration across different engineering disciplines and roles across the business. Whilst working on my placement 4 days a week, I complete a variety of training and tasks at the discretion of my placement manager whilst accumulating useful professional experience. Once a week I attend lectures in a university where I study for my degree, assignments and revision are performed outside of working hours.
