Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
going to plant is good because I get to see where I will be working and all of the different machines too but when we go, there might not be anything for us to do so we don't learn anything. college is good too but sometimes it can be a bit disorganised. with tutors being off we miss important learning.
