Operations Apprentice Review

I am an operations apprentice. Each day I am working with a skilled man/woman learning how they do their jobs so that one day I can pick a sector where I would like to work when I come out of my time as an apprentice.

I have learnt new skills following up from past experiences. I have been on multiple training courses which have enabled me to learn new skills but also have allowed me to meet people from other sites in the UK business and people from other sections of the company.

I really enjoy my programme, everyone is lovely at my workplace, making me feel welcome and comfortable and this makes it easier for me to do my work and stay positive about being at work.

I feel very valued by MBDA. Apprentices are treated very well as we are basically the future of the company. if we have any issues within the business we can bring it up easily and it gets sorted. we are always asked to be involved with experiences and projects and tours, we do a lot of volunteering and side work as well which we benefit from greatly.

the programme is well structured, we started off by having necessary training so that we had a general knowledge of what we will be doing when we first came to the company which was good. the only problem there is with the organisation is the college problems we seem to all be having (not necessarily the businesses fault, more the colleges).

at mbda we receive lots of support from the company. we're young and new so we don't really have much knowledge or experience in the workplace so if we have problems managers and skilled people are there to help us with anything and are willing to do so.

we receive lots of support form our employer as well they are always coming up with ways for us to gain experience and knowledge.

our work depends on how well we get paid so its on us really, but its above average for people our ages so this is good.

there are always opportunities outside of work to go and do volunteering or join groups for activities, etc.

Yes

it is a lovely company to work for, you enjoy being at work and its rather fun.

if you are going to apply for a job at MBDA you should just be yourself within the company to a business extent, take responsibility for anything wrong you do because people will respect you more for it. It's a lovely community to work in and people are always willing to help you no matter what as long as you just show initiative and want to learn and work within the company.
