Research apprentice, coding and assisting on projects.
I have learn C++, Java and Matlab in this time as well as many soft skills, I often interact with externals and present to multiple people within and outside of my department. I have also learn about how the company works and what is expected in my job role.
I enjoy all of my job bar the college.
By my department yes, the apprenticeship team is unconcerned with the welfare and happiness of their apprentices.
The program has no structure at all. The assignments have no schedule or repeat-ability, the marking is very vague and seems to often depend on the lectures opinion of the student.
The college does not care how well the students do and have so little topic knowledge that the students regularly have to correct them on basic principles.
My department is very supportive and always pushes me. The apprenticeship team are unconcerned with reward and instead focus on punishment, the complaints of apprentices seems to fall on death ears and they often respond by blaming the apprentices.
The salary is very good.
My department hosts several events.
Yes
I enjoy my work and department, I would not recommend the apprenticeship.
Apply for the grad scheme not the apprenticeship.
