Preparing CAD drawings. Assisting with basic engineering tasks. 3D CAD modelling. Document control and implementing Q&A procedures.
Yes. I joined straight from school secondary school with no experience.
I enjoy my apprenticeship as it has helped me to start my career in engineering early on, and I have been supported by my company to develop my skills and knowledge.
My university course is generally well organised but sometimes there is a lack of communication between lecturers and students.
My employer has been supportive throughout my course. I have mentors and have also been encouraged to work towards EngTech and IEng membership with the ICE.
In general they have been very supportive.
Much of what I learn is not useful in my day to day work, and likely never will be. However, it has helped me to understand basic engineering principles and develop critical thinking.
Yes
Yes
Because they are supportive with your training and an enjoyable company to work for.
If you put the work in then they will support you.
