Mechanical engineer apprentice Review

accompanying, my mentor on jobs around site.

pretty much every day there is something new to learn

the most enjoyable aspect for myself is being on site out and about doing jobs

The structure and organization, sometimes appears to be rather poor especially the communication from apprenticeship management.

little support from apprenticeship leadership a lot of questions are met with answers that often don't massively help or don't give a definitive answer. however support from fellow employees and mentors and site management is excellent they are happy to help and advice with anything

the college, i feel does what it needs to do lessons are given with a good structure and the tutors clearly know what they are teaching.

the things learnt at college dont always translate to work but that is due to college teaching mostly the theory, where as at work not much theory is really involved at least in mechanical

yes my site team have social events which are a good laugh and always fun

Yes

overall it is an enjoyable opportunity and experience, just some times you may feel you need more support or answers from higher up

Be prepared to put in time and be ready to not necessarily get al the support from apprentice management you may feel you need, a thick skin helps to deal with some of the lack help and undefinitive answers. but alot of the answers can be provided by people on site alot of my questions have been answered that way.
