Lean Manufacturer Review

As an Apprentice , My role isn't static and I rotate places every month. I meet new people and learn new things , everyday is a new day. The jobs that are on offer could go from manual labour on the production line to project designing in the offices. In my first year i haven't done any placements in the offices , All my placements so far have been in production. So far i've been to cutting , prep and covering. I've learnt skills such as hide marking , sorting , sewing , covering and laminating. Being on this apprentice has also improved my communcation and social skills since i have to speak to a lot of different people. I am a lot more confident now than i was before the apprenticeship. On days that i'm not at work im at college. At college im learning the skills of an upholster. I get set small projects every week and i have to complete them. These projects are usually making cushions or chairs.

Before starting my apprentice i knew nothing about sewing. After a few months into my apprenticeship I have learnt how to hand sew and how to use a sewing machine. College teaches me how to sew seams and create cushions. At work I've learnt many skills in manufacturing. i've learnt how to use different machinery and how to use different tools.

I really enjoy my apprenticeship and i always enjoy learning and meeting new people

Pretty Poor organisation

Not that Much
