Tehcnical apprentice Review

I will attempt to learn how all of the departments work in Selex by moving round on three month placements in each. Each placement is different so the tasks are varied.

At work I have bettered myself at a few things but I've not been with the company long enough to have mastered some of the skills needed.

The supervisors in each of the placements have been very good but the apprenticeship as a whole is poor at times.

It's no worse than any company would value their staff. I feel that it would be cause hassle for the company if hey had to find a new apprentice but nothing more than that.

The apprenticeship, on multiple occasions, has been shocking in its organisation. we are still awaiting some of the training that was meant to be done in our induction week (7 months late). The hiring process was also a terrible. I had to contact the company on multiple occasions because they had forgotten to get in contact with me.

I have often felt like I can't be trusted as my manager sided with a college lecturer rather than me when I was accused of misbehaving. I felt this was unacceptable as it is their job to support us through our apprenticeship and I was blamed for something which I did not do.

I feel that the wage should be slightly more. The current wage which we are on is the same as what it was years ago but due to inflation, is worth far less. It's unfair that all employees except apprentices' wages are adapted to keep up with the increasing prices in the market.

The company has constant activities to keep its staff occupied; usually charity events or school involvement.

The content at college is irrelevant to our job, therefor it is a complete waste of our time and the company's money. the organisation for apprentices is poor at best.

It is a job that will get you good qualifications at the end of the apprenticeship and the products that are worked on here are very interesting. This is overshadowed sometimes by the negative points on the course.
