In my current role as a Reliability Engineer (Apprentice) I receive extremely effective support from my manager who is always forward regarding job and activity opportunities for my learning and development.

My training provider is excellent at providing support when is necessary and the healthy network which they provide and have established makes me feel confident when working towards my qualifications.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

The qualification which I am working towards is directly relevant to my job role as it contains the electrical and mechanical principles which all of the engineering and maintenance activities I complete involve, and this enables me to have a stronger understanding of the work I complete and perform better in my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

A few extra-curricular activities are available at my work including volunteering opportunities, fitness programmes and in-house events.
