workshop tech Review

Working within a workshop environment. Mechanical, electrical, and fabrication are all parts of my job. Jobs include: - Create parts for show vehicles - Assist with workshop events - Rapid prototyping of parts and models - Installations within vehicles - resolving vehicle errors - working in fabrication producing rigs and various paneling - harness manufacturing for battery testing

I have learnt how to maintain, set up, and run 3D printers. Also learned how to use CAD and 3D printing software required to produce prints. Also responsible for fault rectification and stock control for the 3D printers. Laser cutting/ etching Complex electronics and harness manufacturing for various testing purposes

I really enjoy where I work, both the job role and the team that I work with. The work changes constantly, so there is always a new skill to learn. My manager is always pushing me to do my best and finding new opportunities for me. Being part of a workshop capable of delivering amazing things is fantastic

The program has room for improvement. There are discrepancy and lack of communication between the training provider and Jaguar Land Rover. The college courser needs to be updated. There needs to be more to support and encourage young women into engineering apprenticeships. A lot of information is not known until last minute

There are many things put into place to help employees. Jaguar Land Rover is really trying to help support mental health. This is fantastic and must be continued and improved upon. More supports should be provided to apprentices, especially minors as they may need more help because of their lack of experience.

The college as an entity does little to help, which is a shame because there are some lecturers that are really passionate and want to help but are limited and restricted by the college. Cutting large portions of the teachers has had a negative impact on the teachers ability to teach

The course does not match up well with my current job role, it is more based at people working within power train or with engines on a regular basis. I typically work with electric vehicles, meaning large sections of the qualification do not really assist with my job role currently.

There are some, but it is very limited or not well advertised by the company. Any activities typically seem to be run by a limited number of passionate individuals. However some additional support or even funding by Jaguar Land Rover could, potentially, make a real difference for the employees on site.

Yes

I really enjoy my job, where I work, and the team I work with. There are so many opportunists for advancements and the learning of skills. You are paid to learn Getting a job is not just about the qualifications you have, but also the experience. An apprenticeship offers both.

Be yourself and be confident Do not worry or stress about the application process, its relatively easy Talk about what you are passionate about, it is easy to talk about a subject you actually really enjoy If you have any work or volunteer experience this can be useful to mentioned.
