Electrical engineering apprentice Review

I work in technical support and am being rapidly trained to be an expert in factory automation with Siemens products.

I have developed a huge number of skills from presenting to pc skills to hand tool skills and programming.

I think it is possibly the best way to enter further education and has very little left to improve.

I feel extremely valued by Siemens, I've met the CEO of the UK multiple times along with many senior management who constantly remind us how much they support the apprenticeship scheme, which they do!

With the exception of our college which is kind of out of our control despite many attempts to help improve the place the scheme is very well structured.

Our college leaves something to be desired but we are attempting to improve it.

Absolutely everyone in the building is willing to help with almost anything in almost any way they can, all staff are very supportive and helpful.

We would always appreciate more remuneration and the opportunity for overtime would be great but otherwise I think we are paid well and fairly.

Our business does a huge amount of CSR work and outside work events that are open to everyone.

Yes

They are a fantastic company to try hard to retain and develop their staff, the company is full of kind and helpful people all resulting in feeling very well looked after.

You need to prove your interest in the subject you're studying, Siemens has plenty of opportunity to train you but they have to see their spark in your eye, that keenness for the subject matter and willingness to learn.
