Technical Apprentice, going through rotations which involve several departments throughout the company. These include shop op placements, as well as manufacturing Support and product development areas

All qualifications gained (PEO's, BTEC Manufacturing engineering, HNC Manufacturing Engineering. fault finding trees and the thought processes to gain the route causes. 5s skills and ergonomic understanding

I feel the program is okay up to the point a department chooses who they want. after this stage it is one rule for one, one rule for another. It appears that only certain person are allowed to move into the desired placement, with others being held back.

locally within placements, you are valued as a member of the team. However at a HR level you are not valued and made to feel singled out within the team

College side of the programme is spot on. however in work structuring for work completion and the training is lacking.

1 day a week release to college. email support when required with additional tutorial sessions in the evenings following the college day.

locally within the department, support is high. however when outside of this, with the apprentice manager and also HR. support is nonexistant

you cannot move out on an apprentice wage, however is meets the requirements to live at home and run a car just

Community volunteering hours rejected due to selected scout group. only 4 hours granted for a days leave. 4 hours unpaid.

Yes

major employer within the area.
