It changes depending on the placement that I am currently in, usually it starts with logging onto the computer at my desk and responding to emails for various subjects. I would then start to get involved in work specific to the placement I am in over the rest of the day.
By the end of the apprenticeship I will have gained a few different qualifications, a level 2 and 3 NVQ and a HNC. I have also gained other skills such as getting comfortable in new situations and gaining confidence in general.
I enjoy this programme a lot, I get to work with many interesting products that the company produces, and get to work with a large amount of different people.
I feel valued because it has been made clear that many people currently working here have got into the company through the apprenticeship scheme.
The structure of my apprenticeship was well organised and structured, there is aspects for example college where it is unorganised but this is due to a different organisation.
Support can be received whenever it is needed.

At the moment it is a stretch every month to pay for everything I need to, this leaves me with barely any money at the end of the month to spend on things like social activities. however I'm sure that other people who are in other situations would find the pay to be plenty.
we are provided with many different opportunity's to get involved with other things outside of work, an example of this is the world skills competition, there are also many events hosed by people across site that you can get involved in.
Yes
It is a very good apprenticeship to get into, you learn a lot and gain good qualifications for doing it too.
I believe that it is important to only apply if you know that you want to work in a job that is electronics based, I have seen people become disinterested because it was not their career choice.
