manufacture line worker Review

On a day to day basis my job is to fit multiple components to vehicles that are produced at Goodwood. the jobs can vary from day to day like one day i can be fitting seats and interior trim to certain models or fitting side frame to even fitting doors.

i have learned a wide variety of skills especially through the college, this has been the best part as i have have picked up skills that i have never done before such as welding and electronics. i have also picked up on existing skills that i had learned before such as motor mechanics which i had learned in previous education

The extent to how i enjoy my apprentice is half and half. some weeks i feel ill be making a lot of progression with learning new stuff and then some weeks i feel the learning will be come static and i feel that there's no more progression and I'm stuck doing the same routine

I feel that the organization and structure of the program is not very well put together and defiantly needs improving. the communication with the college and work was next to nothing and felt like our group was the middle men for information to be past on. I also felt that there wasn't much set up for us at work and we was just left for a job for ages as like there was nothing for us to do.

The support that was received was ok but still felt like it could be improved. i never felt like i had anyone checking up on me with any issues or concerns that had, it was always me having to ask first even for basic information like setting up work accounts etc..

The support i received from college was ok but from my head tutor was great. He would help out the group in any case possible and would go above and beyond to make sure that all our college work was in check and everything was set up to achieve dead lines

I don't personally feel that what I've learned at college even though it can be helpful, does not make me better at my role at work. The stuff i have learned at college has no use for what i actually do at work. For example I've learned how to weld and use fabrication tools at college but at work all that i really do is fit interior trim in cars.

There are multiple activities to get involved in like football teams and golf clubs but i have only just found out about them and never knew this happened at the start of my apprentice. my advise is to make these activities better advertised so it give people a better opportunity to apply for them

No

The reason i wouldn't recommend working at rolls Royce is because my personal experience wasn't what i had expected it to be when i first applied. I feel like i haven't been pushed academically enough and haven't learned as much as i wanted to do but i am hopeful this will change in the future.

My tips and advise i would give to others applying is to ask about different departments within Roll Royce depending on your role you have applied for as much as possible. this is because i felt like i was stuck to one area at work and didn't have a lot to learn about and maybe if i ask to work else where on the line i would have enjoyed it more.
