5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

As our team was small in the beginning, there was help. but college course wasn't anything to do with rail engineering. The qualified persons didn't have enough work for them selves. when we found opportunities, other persons stuck their noses in delaying and finally denying said opportunity

Procat and B&D have a saying "Google it"

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It doesn't, its irrelevant. My training providers didn't even have tutor with a history of Rail.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are, if you look hard. There is a big divide between office based apprentices and maintenance ones.
