Manafacturing Apprentice Review

Running the packing lines with the current operators, learning how each part of the machine work, fixing any problems with the line, carrying out regular improvements to the live. Also working 1 day with the engineers to understand the mechanics of how each machine works, this helps with fixing problems in the future when running the lines.

Yes. I have developed skill in engineering that I never had before, I now understand how different types of machinery work within the industry and am confident in working with identifying problems before they happen. I have found college to help me with more academic challenges and feel I am improving everyday.

I enjoy my programme to the full extent, each day is a new challenge, I have really enjoyed my time in college with the training I have been given. inside the work place everyone has been super friendly and help with making me feel welcome and helping me understand everything around me.

The programme is very well structured I currently go to college 2days a week (Monday, Tuesday). The other 3 days I am working on site running the line on the packing floor. Or I will work with the engineers carrying out maintenance. Weekend off which is a nice bonus unless I choose to work over time.

I receive 100% support if there is any problem at all I am fine with approaching my manager and knowing that he will help me in anyway he can. Same can be said for the team I work with, any problems at all you just need to ask and help will be given.

Training at college I receive plenty of support each week can be a different topic but the teacher make sure that you are understanding what has be taught for the day. If there is anything you don't understand again all you have to do is ask and the teacher will help you.

I feel as that the training given to me at the work place and college helps me do my role better by not just understanding the workplace better but also with a better understanding of how the industry operates. This I hope will help me progress further after I have qualified.

To my knowledge at the moment I do not know I am a member of the work gym at the moment which I supposes could count. Its easy to just pop into the gym before or after your shift for a good workout, helps me stay focused and ready for the day.

Yes

I would recommend Unilever for a friend because it is a great business to work for, everything is given to you on a plate you just have to work hard for the goals you seek but any support needed is always there. Also Unilever is a very well established company so job security is a peace of mind

Be yourself, even if you don't know a question in the interviews just be honest and explain how you feel you can be a great asset to the business. All the training can be taught but Unilever I feel are looking for confidence, people who they can grow and mould into something great.
