Apprentice Review

I am a machining apprenitce in my second year, on the average day i work with skilled machinists to gain an understanding of machining principles and apply them to small jobs that I am asked to do.

I have learnt many new skills: the operation of CNC Machines, how to operate a lathe and a milling machine as well personal skills such as team work and listening.

I enjoy coming in to work every day and it is a pleasure to get out of bed knowing I will be working for such an esteemed company.

I feel very valued, everyone within the company always has time for an apprentice and wants you to develop, I am pushed to experience new activities daily and thourouhgly enjoy peoples inputs.

My programme is very well structured, assessors make sure you know what you're doing and when and give you a clear pathway to qualification.

An awful lot of support, wether it be professionally or personally my provider has alwasy got time to help me deal with my problems.

My employer is my training provider so my answer is the same as the above question.

Very Well! it has allowed me to move out of my parents and rent a home of my own, buy a car and live a very cushy life, and of course there is always drinking money left over.

Yes many! the compnay put on many different events and encourages an apprentice presence at these events. For instance I will be taking part in the german exchange later this year.

Yes

It is a wonderul place to work, where employees are looked after very well and payed well. It feels like the company is a parent to you on occasion.

Just be confident and be yourself, the company wants honest people willing to put the effort in.
