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

In depth teaching over a variety of techniques and subjects related and to develop an engineering mindset and background. This includes all of the mental and practical skills required to complete or undergo a task following the completion of the apprenticeship.

I have learnt lots of new information and skills but also further developed base skills from school specified to the job

The whole year is structured in advance with all the timings and information needed to proceed through the year

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

The apprenticeship team are all very supportive and approachable at all times for advice or to help

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

5/5

My training provider gives me all the support necessary to complete the qualification

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

4/5

Very good overview but some areas could be more specified to the job that follows the training such as specific areas or tasks mirrored from the qualification.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

3/5

At the start of the year we went on a large team building week away which helped us get to know our colleagues and give us an idea of expectations going forward. There could be more accessible activities during the apprenticeship or better communicated if there are activities available.
