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

My job title is Manufacturing Test Technician and my day to day basis changes depending on which department I'm working with. At the moment I'm working on modelling on CAD software and taking on projects by myself and seeing it through till it is made and tested

I have learnt lots of new skills which is aided by the small awareness sessions that all apprentices take part in to get a wider understanding of different parts of the business.

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I think the program is very well structured having a small induction before starting at college and then a longer 2 week induction when we are introduced back into the business giving us all time to settle in before getting straight into work.
