Secondary Engineer Review

Maintaining the machines used to package baby milk, the maintenance was planned, unplanned and preventative.

Developed communication skills and welding, problem solving and most effective materials for different tasks.

I enjoyed going to work then going into college to practice the skills. Also, having a mentor and tutor to ask questions when I was unsure.

Mostly very good, I would have liked even more practical skills but understand that I learn in the workshop and the workplace.

I had a great mentor and my managers always supported requests of help. They understood when I had college work to focus on.

Plenty of support available, I had a facilitator who was my first point of contact then individual subject tutors who were great.

I learned most at work but the theory at college helped me understand and ask questions at work.

We have a 6 a-side team that recently started and I play every week and regular social events that I stands.

Yes

Supportive employer who understands how to develop skills and apprentices.

Be prepared for working in a warm environment and having to wear a hair net! But, also be prepared for lots of support and regular meetings to ensure you are progressing well.
