Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I come to my apprenticeship everyday 5 days a week and learn in a 6 week intensive block program using me with the maximum knowledge possible in the duration, then after working in the Caxton Academy the 6 week block switches over to 6 weeks on site where i am able to implement my skills into the real world, i have the opportunity to build things such as blockwork, brickwork, patterns and such.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I always feel happy and respected when i am working with Caxton group and training through Caxton Academy, i know that when i go into site in the morning it is a great feeling to be trusted by the site team to implement my skills and construct beautiful masonry pieces.
It is a nice feeling to walk past jobs that i have been on and admire masonry that i have worked on and see the beauty of the finished product.
I receive a thorough amount of training in my apprenticeship, providing me with terminology, hands on experience, technical ability, diversity equality and inclusion, lifestyle choices, methodology, mathematics, english.
