Overview of Role

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

5/5

Being a technical apprentice involves completing a vocational level 3, as well as learning the ropes at work, joining new 'placements' every 7 or 12 weeks and getting to know a new part of the business. some placements are desk based whereas others are more technical or engineering focused.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

The pay could be better, and management and human resources within the company can be difficult to access or navigate as a young professional.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have extended my electronics knowledge far beyond what I knew as a hobbyist and learnt other important transferrable skills across engineering sectors.
