Apprentice Review

Throughout my apprenticeship I have done several placements in departments within the business. I am currently working in the project engineering department which involves speaking directly with customers.

Schneider has allowed me to develop many skills. Since I started working at Schneider, I have gained confidence, achieved a good understanding of the products that are manufactured and how they operate and also I developed my communication skills after having the experience of working with customers.

I have enjoyed working at Schneider of the past three and a half years. This is because each day is different and I have worked a various different departments within the business.

This varies on which department that I am working in. In certain departments, where I have been given challenging tasks which if I complete, I feel valued.

At the start of the apprenticeship, the training program was pretty good, but there has been some departments which I have missed out on going in throughout my apprenticeship. Generally it has been structured well and Schneider has enables us to do college work if required which is a benefit.

The training provider has really helped to push forward my NVQ by pushing for us to go on site I n order to complete the modules required.

Schneider has been very supporting throughout the apprenticeship as they have allowed time within work hours to do college work and also they have given me the opportunity to attend training courses.

I am happy with my pay at Schneider, there is a canteen which sells hot and cold food at breakfast and dinner time and also the is a free car park which is a major advantage when working in a city centre.

There is a weekly 5 a side football that occurs which I take part in and enjoy, but I think there should be a few more opportunities throughout the year which would allow more employees to get involved.

Yes

Schneider Electric allows employees to develop and take further training. This is an advantage because it allows people to develop new skills and learn more about the business.

To be relaxed as all the staff are easy to talk. Also I would say that they should ask questions and show a good interest in what is being said.
