Engineering maintenance technician apprentice Review

My role at the moment is to turn up to college every day and to do the learning and work that is assigned to me, this is so that I can gain the qualifications to be able to complete the apprenticeship. The day is just like a school day with a break in the morning and for lunch with different lessons

I have developed many skills including independence, timekeeping, work ethic and many other things including the knowledge and skills in the training for the job that I am going for I was already quite independent but doing this apprenticeship has forced me to become much more independent, with not only work but as you are living away from home you will be learning life skills.

I am really enjoying the program as it has given me the opportunity to do lots of things that I would not have normally done and has given me the chance to meet new people and develop some life long friends, I enjoy ly not only the social aspects but the learning as well as it is so interesting.

To be honest at the moment there are a lot of things that appear unorganised as it is the second year that the apprenticeship has be run at the current location and there are many things that are yet to be sorted out, and at the moment it is quite unorganised

I receive all the support possible from my employer, there is always someone checking up with you and seeing if you are ok or if there is something you need so there are many different channels of support within the company and any of them will help you as much as possible.

We receive all the needed support from out training providers as we are with them every day we have grown close to them and can talk to them about anything and they will always check up on us to see how we are doing so I believe there is lots of support from my training providers.

It will definitely help to ensure that I know what I will be doing in my job role as I would not have known anything about the job so it is essential that I have these qualifications to understand the job at hand and can actually do them to the set standard.

Within the college that I attend there are many extra curricular activities that I attend depending on if they appeal to me we have done a variety of trips to different places and have done many fun activities such as go-carting and paint-balling these will be done every few weeks

Yes

As the level of qualification alongside the experience is an incredible chance to better yourself and gain valuable life experience and lessons that you will never forget it allows you to gain a trade alongside being paid and providing all of the major needs of a young person, it is a chance to set you for life with a life long job if you put the effort in .

make sure you put the effort in to look the part in your interview and make sure that you come across as interesting and enthusiastic you must learn as such as you can before trying to start with them as it will help you not only in the interview bit in the learning, don’t be nervous about anything as the process will vary you along the experience.
