Quality Audit Apprentice Review

Quality Inspector- This involves checking one off parts, capability studies, plant lab work which involves checking the strength of machine wash solutions, cleanliness of parts. I also do pull tests on parts where a tensile strength machine is used to pull parts apart and see what the breaking point was.

I have learnt many different skills from learning how to produce components on lathes and milling machines in my time at college to being trained on multiple CMM machines we have in quality. Being in the quality team has enabled me to grow my confidence as I speak to people all around the factory.

I really enjoy my apprenticeship, it has allowed me to try new things and go to different places such as parliament in London as a part of representing apprenticeships at Cummins.

My apprenticeship has been structured well. I think the first full year at the training center/ college helped grow my confidence before coming on site and into work.

I receive a great amount of support from my employer. My manager is very supportive and willing to help further my skills and knowledge in my job.

Its important to get all help where possible. At my training center its often difficult to get all information needed from some tutors.

The maths skills I have learnt in my course especially has helped me in my role at work. Skills such as trigonometry are used frequently so its important to have a good understanding of how to apply this.

Im a part of WEN (Womens Empowering Network) at the Cummins Huddersfield site. Being involved in this has helped me meet new people and voice my opinion about being woman in engineering which I wouldn't have been able to do without this group.

Yes

The apprenticeships here at Cummins are amazing for young people looking to get into engineering. It has helped me grow as a person and also helped me grow a career for myself in what I want to do.

Put in the work at college to get the best grades possible and put 100% effort into work on site as it will help people notice and appreciate the work you do.
