Steelworker apprentice Review

In furness college I get to learn about basic metal fabrication skills as well as various tools that I will use within my job. This also carries over into the classroom to learn about the theory side to my job and health and safety.

Within the workshop I have learnt how to use the basic skills which involve hand tools, big metal cutting machines and welding and burning skills.

I have enjoyed most of my apprenticeship so far and got to meet some good people and tutors. The hardest part being learning in a classroom after being away from one for so long.

Withing the college they have struggled in the beginning to provide my class with workshop tutors which has not helped, but over time it has got better and we do get tutors. Bae as a employer has done there best to help us get the best help but sometimes it's hard for them too unfortunately.

BAE as an employer have been really good and helped me with updates on what I will be doing throughout my time in my apprenticeship.

The college as a whole did not provide us with all the help in the beginning of our time here as they struggle to find a tutor as there was not enough of them free at the time.

I got invited to get involved in the companies podcast team.

Yes

The are a great provider employment and will do there best to help you through your apprenticeship and even in personal life if you need it.

Be as open as possible and really try to get the job you want and don't give up if you don't get it as I applied more than once.
