Manufacturing Apprenticeship Review

Monday- Tuesday I go to college to work towards my qualifications, Wednesday-Friday I work with the day engineers help with any maintenance or repairs. I also help run my line to ensure targets are met and everything is running smoothly, I work in different areas to ensure I am learning all that I need.

Yes I have learnt a lot about the engineering aspect of things which will help me a great deal for the future. I have also learnt how to run my line and fix any problems that my appear. I also feel I have developed better communicational skills working within the team.

I love working on site during the week as it challenges me to think outside the box and everyday is constant learning. I come to work with a smile on my face everyday, no morning do I wake up dreading my job as I enjoy every minute I am there.

From my interview to my current learning everything has been smooth sailing for organising any training or education. if there is anything new that I need to know then I will be told by my line manager or emailed to my personal email, so I am always kept up to date with everything.

I receive 110% support from my employer everything I have experienced has been nothing but support making sure that I have everything I need to perform my job roles including tools, PPE, and uniform. The feedback you receive is also great as is lets you know how well you are doing.

So far training has been perfect I have achieved top marks in all my assignments. I am always asked if I need any extra help with my learning and I am always given time to complete my tasks if I need some extra time in the training room at any point.

It will help 100% with my future career as the learning is built round the job role so that when I come back to site from college each week I can apply what I have learnt to the job which helps me greatly. the same applies for stuff learnt in work with helping me in college.

Not that I am aware of as of yet but I am still a new face to the business. I did however go on an outbound team building in the lakes for a few days which was a lot of fun were I made some great new friends within the business.

Yes

Great company with great benefits, and a well established company to work for knowing that I work for a company like Unilever gives me a sense of job security and pride. Getting to this point is not easy so I feel lucky to be here working with the team in this life changing experience.

Be yourself and show character in your interviews. If you are successful give it 110% don't be put off by your age as I am currently 28 years old and thought I had slim chance of being successful, it just goes to show that if you put in the work and show how keen you are then it will pay off.
