  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The structure of the course could be better as when moving into areas you can be chasing work quite alot as there isnt really a plan for the months you will be in each area for.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • Our tutour tries to come in as much as possible and when he does i feel as if the support and help is there but i personally think it would have been better if our training provider was closer to our work place so extra visits could be made.

  • I feel as the relitive support needed is givien and if you have any enquires there is always someone there that you can speak to. They also give me time at work to complete my college work

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • In the first year of the course i thought the wage wasnt that bad but as the years have progressed i feel the pay rises each year have been quite low compared to other companys and from the people that are doing similar courses to us at college.

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • There is a five aside match that is held on thursdays and but getting numbers for that are quite hard. There is also a 11 v 11 game that is held once a year against scarbrough. Apart from that there isnt really anything out of work to get involved with.

    5/10

  • 9. Would you recommend Schneider Electric to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • It would be a yes/no answer because if someone was looking for an office based job in switchgear then i would recommend the company, but if someone was wanting a more hands on job then i wouldnt recommend the company.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Schneider Electric?
  • Pretty much what i said in the above question
