1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

8/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Learning new skills, and I suppose also developing on existing skills. I’m learning new engineering techniques, how you set and run new machinery.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

As a 40 year old, I do find it’s not quite for me. Although I know it’s something I need to do to progress my career. It’s just hard getting back into a learning mentality, (and sometimes being treated like a kid)

4/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Seems well organised, but saying that, with the year we’ve had (COVID). It’s been a challenge.

5/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

My employers have been great. Allowing me the time to get work done. It’s a course which should hopefully benefit both of us in the long run.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Can’t fault the support we are given.

10/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I believe it will help to some degree, but then again in all honesty, I could work with a colleague at work and probably be able to run the machine within a few days. Doing the course gives me a better understanding, but again in Rolls-Royce, if you are a machinist, you can’t alter or change programmes if there is a issue.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

In my workplace, we do a few social activities on team days. We also finish a hour early on a certain day of the week, where we play football or do a hours gentle exercise.

9a. Would you recommend Rolls-Royce to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Fantastic company to work for. Well looked after with excellent benefits.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Rolls-Royce?

DO IT. As long as your self motivated and prepared to work, you should have a long and rewarding career. ( pre COVID anyway)
