  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am a logistics engineer. Throughout my first year I attend college to gain the basic knowledge of engineering which I am currently doing. In the following years I will be on day release at college where I will either get a HNC or degree qualification.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes, I have gained many more skills within engineering. Before I started I had no idea what my career path would involve however now I have a much better understanding and I have been shown and taught some of a very large and advance section of the engineering work industry and will progress to further my knowledge.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I fully enjoy the programme, obviously nothing is perfect however as an overview it is a very enjoyable experience so far with few hiccups that do not concern the company itself but the college that has taken the role of setting us up for work life.
