Electrical Manufaturing Apprentice Review

My day to day life at BAE has been amazing so far. Everyone here is absolutely lovely and are always happy to help with any questions i have. I have been doing stock taking and sending emails asking for quotes. Once my security clearance is through i will be building machines as well

I have learnt how to use databases and the best way to ask for help when you need it. I have also developed my knowledge on how to write assertive emails and how to upload spreadsheets to the intranet system. My communication skills have improved immensly since starting my job here

It makes me very happy to work at BAE. Most days when i come home from the job i end up talking about just how much i am enjoying to virtually anyone who will listen to me. It has been great feeling like i am being helpful around the office and doing jobs that will benefit others

It has been very well structured. My colleagues set out tasks for me to do and i go away and do them. If i ever need any help or guidance they are always there to offer it which is great. No questions have felt silly or unnecessary to ask them.

I have received plenty of support from my employer throughout this whole process. Even with issues that haven't been theirs to fix they have gone out their way to try and help me with them because they were higher up in the company and had the connections to help

I have had a meeting with them and they showed me around the college. They done this in their own time which was very nice of them. They are giving me great guidance on how to fill out the paperwork and there was great communication between them and my company

It has been very smooth between both the employer and the trainee as they have talked together to try and work out what it is that needed to be set up so i was ready to come into the workplace. I was impressed with how much i wasn't ending up the middle man

Yes i have been told about many of these. There has been a virtual escape room as well as an online baking session and a gaming night playing among us which all sounds very fun also a movie night has been set up as well to get everyone involved at some point

Yes

Because of how amazing this company has been to me and how healthy the workplace environment is with everyone being so helpful and understanding it makes me enjoy my job so much more and anyone who is working deserves to go to work feeling excited about what that day has to offer

Just be very open and honest about everything and keep asking questions because someone will always find an answer for you. The paperwork process is long but it is so worth it so stick to it and get an apprenticeship at this place. The wage is amazing for an apprentice also which is just a bonus to everything else
