Wood shop apprentice Review

Learning all the processes involved in making wooden components in rolls Royce’s.

Yes. I’ve learnt a huge amount about using veneers and the amount of work that goes into making each part

The people at work are very nice and it is a nice environment. I would rate it higher if it were more organised and structured.

They value their apprentices but I am not sure what they want out of them.

I enjoy the college course. The course is well organised for the resources they have. At work there is a schedule that we follow that tells us when we move from one area to the next. There are rough guidelines on what we are to learn but that is as far as it goes. What you actually learn depends on how keen you are and how busy the workers are.

College goes out of there way to provide help often staying late so that people can work on ambitious projects.

Personally, people on the shop floor have helped me a lot and have been really helpful. However, this is because I get on well with them. Other apprentices that don’t get on well with people will get less support.

It doesn’t. I am doing an apprenticeship at a much later stage on my life than others. Apprentice wages are simply not enough for me to live alone so I am living with parents.

Opportunities to do what? Question needs clarifying.

Yes

The company is not a high stress environment and the future prospects promise fairly good pay for the work that is being done.

If you would like to work in a manufacturing environment it is a good place to be.
