I am an apprentice under the management of the Rolls Royce Ghost assembly line. Beginning of my apprenticeship till very recently I have been trained as an associate and worked on the line. This was valuable because I was able to understand the processes of this manufacturing plant first hand. There are many inner workings of a factory and you gain a better understanding being part of that. For now, I am working with the planners who are responsible for intergration of processes to the line.
Organisation skills-I have learnt that being organised and tidy with my work is more efficient. When items and tools have a set place you save time making your own work run a lot smoother. Communication- Communication is vital in a manufacturing environment. There are many different department that rely on eachother. This has enhanced my communication skills.
I enjoy my apprenticship a lot. This is because the work I do I can visually see as productive for myself in the cars made.
Quite valued.
Not particularly though it is improving.
Enough support.
Enough support.
Meets it well although I travel 40 miles a day.
Not enough.
Yes
It employs and wishes to offer further advancement if motivation is there.
If you want it, show it. You dont have to be a piston head or know much about cars at all just that you are willing to learn and manufacturing is a sector you will find interesting.
