Dimming and Control Review

My job entails sorting out IT equipment that is used for controlling lights on a film set. We are a rentals company so we send out equipment and then receive it once the production have finished with it. Therefore, we test equipment regularly after being returned to make sure it is able to go back out on another job.

Since I started my apprenticeship here at Warner Bros, I have learnt a variety of skills ranging from IT to electrical skills. This helps me complete my day to day job. I have learnt these skills from continuous improvement within the workplace as well as courses such as an electrical compliancy course.

Since I have started here, I have enjoyed every second of it. There is always something new to learn, and new experiences. Everyone has been very welcoming since I started and I have fitted in really well. I know if I do not know anything, I can ask any of my co-workers to help me.

At the start of my apprenticeship. I was a bit in the dark with the scheme as I did not know too much about it. However it quickly came to light through the help of my college mentor. This allowed me to understand my programme through monthly calls I have with him.

Since I have started my apprenticeship, I have received a lot support from my employer. This has included tools, work shoes, work clothes and a computer, mouse and keyboard. This allows me to carry out the job I do day-to-day as well as the work I receive from my college.

I receive a lot of support from my training provider. I get regular emails from them as well as monthly calls with my college mentor. This helps me to make sure I am on the right track and completing my work to a suitable standard. My college mentor gives me feedback on the work.

My qualification through my training provider helps me massively in the role I am doing here at Warner Brothers. This is because predominantly the majority of our equipment is IT based. Therefore learning about IT, infrastructure and communications is really crucial to be able to do my job to a good enough standard.

There are a few extra curricular activities to get involved in such as International women's day, Black History Month and Mens' mental health Awareness week. We did all of the lighting for these honourable events which was a cool experience within itself! This also allowed me to socialise with other people I work with and build up better relationships with colleagues.

Yes

I would recommend working at Warner Bros/ Warner Media to anyone as it is a great place to be, no matter what point of your career you are in. At Warner Brothers there are opportunities for all and anyone could work here. Everyone has been very welcoming so far and it has been very easy to settle into.

For anyone applying to either an apprenticeship, internship or even to become an employee, Warner is a great place to be. I would recommend just being yourself through the interview process and really show why you would like to work within this company. Warner Brothers is very inclusive and is for everyone so anyone can apply and have an equal chance.
