Apprentice carpenter Review

i do carpentry day to day but what im specifically doing all the time changes as im working on different sites and with different people, but i dont always know what i am doing therefore the people that i work with help me to learn and teach me the right ways of doing things so that i improve and would be able to do it unassisted after knowing everything that i need to.

while working with my both my employer and my training provider i feel i have done both as i had already known a few things but hadn't ever done them alot or practised them much as well as most days i do something new and different that i learn and then try to listen and understand how to do them properly, so im always developing skills and learning new ones.

my programme at college isnt always the same as what i do on sites, but i learn new things that may help me one day and things i probably wouldn't learn how to do if i didn't go to my training provider, but i enjoy learning how to do different things whether thats at work or at the training centre, and when i have learnt how to do certain skills i like to then use it when im working without having to ask for much help.

my programme is very organised as i know what i have to do and to what standard and i can get on and do it at my own time and pace, and i always have someone to ask for help if i need it if im struggling with something, which helps for me to learn and develop

i receive some support as they aim to get me on jobs where i will be focusing on carpentry and i can learn new things aswell as they support me when i go to college, but my employer doesn't work on sites so doesn't provide much support first hand, but other people that i work with give me support and try to teach me the best way.

i receive a good amount of support as they make sure all my work is a good standard before they accept it aswell as they teach me everything i need to know and help if they feel that i am struggling which is good as i get the best knowledge and training possible

it gives me alot of knowledge so i can do more when at work such as reading plans and working out how to do a job, as well as learning skills that will help me with more jobs that i can get involved in and help out my other employees abit more

currently at my company we only have a Christmas team building event where all the employees and employers get together to celebrate the year for a meal this gives us an opportunity to socialise outside of work. we do not have any other extra curricular activities to get involved in at my place of work.

Yes

all of the employees are friendly and have a good time while working which makes day to day work more enjoyable and more productive, and the employers are helpful and organised to support you when you are working which helps get jobs done to a better standard and the employees stay happier

the company is fairly small so everyone works with everyone often which is helpful when learning so there is only a couple people teaching you and they know what you can do and what you're capable of, also a high standard of work is expected which everyone try's their best to do in order to do better jobs.
