3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Have very much enjoyed my apprenticeship and all of the opportunities and experiences I have been given during it

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The structure of the apprenticeship is intuitive, it is project-based and follows the same structure/stages as an improvement project so it walks you through it. My project and the course were not always perfectly 1:1 with progress, but this didn't have much of an impact and support was in place if needed.

10/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Very reliable support from the training & development/HR team. We also have routine forums with all apprentices on site to discuss support, suggest improvements, etc.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Both my tutor and the providers dedicated support team were very helpful and always available.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Countless. Anything from internal events, trips, etc., to charity work and networking opportunities. I havent personally participated in them but know colleagues that do and have heard great feedback, especially from family events.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lisi Aerospace?

Lisi places significant importance on team fit -- how well you fit into our team and reflect our values. When applying for an apprenticeship, its not so much what you know or experience you have than it is about your willingness to learn, grow, and become a part of the team.
