Mechanical engineer Review

Maintaining engineering standards of steel rolling mills and keeping the availability up to ensure a direct route without fail to the end customer of a high quality product.

100% learnt new skills as well as developing skills I already had. The apprenticeship programme also built a level of confidence within myself to be able to achieve anything.

I loved my apprenticeship, I have made life long friends as well as honing skills I already had as well as building a new skill set which will stay with me throughout my working career

Very, like building a house, you work from the bottom up, the basics were fundamentally drilled in to us and then that gives a good understanding the further your learning goes. Not once did I feel out of my depth.

A huge amount, as long as you were putting the effort in yourself. No one would be left to stuggle as long as they would give their best. That is the best approach in my opinion

Quite a lot, nothing was too much trouble. Even allowing you to swap shifts if you had an exam in college/uni to be able to allow you to prepare as best as possible. Very much a human element to the training scheme which can be missed elsewhere.

It has made me who I am today by providing a structured approach to not only my learning but my life. An apprenticeship teaches life skills as well as work skills.

A huge amount, TATA provide community support as well as sponsors. They have also allowed myself extra time off when I have been competing internationally in my personal sport of target shooting. They didn’t have to do that.

Yes

TATA May have bad press about the uncertainty of its future however I owe everything I have achieved in my working life and partly personal developement to TATA. I now have a career and skills which I owe them a lot for.

Research the job roles and see which one suits you. There are many opportunities within TATA which is amazing! A very personal approach from such a big organisation
