My role at the present point in time is an network rail telecoms apprentice, I am get to discover what I will be doing day to day at my depot, however currently I am gaining the specific knowledge to aid me in my job.
I have learn loads of new skills, such as fault finding, creating circuits and even the theory side I have gained skills, as my writing ability has vastly improved compared to when I first was employed by network rail everything to do with the engineering sector is new as I have no prior/very basic knowledge/skills
I enjoy it quite a lot however some of the work can be quite tedious at times.
I feel as though network rail maked apprentices feel valued as they make me feel as though I am part of a massive team, everyone who is in the same boat supports each other, even the older more mature employees want to aid you in our journey to becoming the best employee I can be.
the programme was very structured, it was obvious they had thought about the programme very carefully, however Babcock staff have been dropping like flies since being told network rail have ended their contract with them, which has disrupted our education.
a lot of supportive feedback is given as we are scheduled 6 weekly 1:1.
we receive a large amount of support from network as they are always providing different companies in which specialise in supporting areas or counselling.
it meets my costs well however no one would decline more money, not even the queen.
yes there are loads of opportunities outside work.
Yes
because they are a strong company, as provide pretty must jobs for life.
just be yourself, I am perfect example that you do not need prior engineering qualifications to enter into an engineering career.
