  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • 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.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • 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.
