Prototype Machinist Review

My day to day job is programming setting and operating CNC and manual machines. since this is in prototype it can be a different job every day making the job very interesting and full of skills to be learnt.

I have learnt a countless amount of new skills and have been developing throughout the apprentice at Cummins, i have also had many opportunity's and have been able to learn about all the different areas within the company, this is by rotating through these areas on an organized plan

It is a great program and allows you to develope many new social skills in team working and leading. Both collage and work are a great environment to be in, as everyone is willing to assist you in any ways they possibly can and will provide you with very good advice.

The program has been very well structured throughout it, we have been provided with a rotation plan which showed where it is that we are to be on what dates and for what length of time. This made the most of my time learning within the company and being able to understand what goes into our products. The training has been outstanding with 1st class engineers/machinists teaching all the skills required.

Whenever I needed support Cummins was always there with any issues i had with anything they always made sure to sort it out once it was brought up with them. We are provided with an afternoon a week which we can complete any work if needed such as technical reports you can take this time on any afternoon a maximum of once a week which is more than enough.

Appris will provide guidance where required to make sure you gain your qualifications. In the case of COVID 19 Appris have been super and have gone above and beyond to ensure that the units required are finished in time by extending the academic year allowing extra time to complete what is required.

What i have learnt at Appris has been very applicable to my job role at work. as the units that have been selected are machining and CNC which all apply to what i do at work. They have been able to provide me with the base knowlage i require to complete my job and complete it safety.

Yes there are plenty of activates available to complete we have a Scheme called EEEC which is a scheme allowing us to go out to help the local community and complete tasks. There are also many other opportunities to volunteer and they occisanly have open events for momentous times of the company's life.

Yes

Cummins is a great place to work and a great enviroment. They support you greatly and push you to get your full potential. if you are willing they leave all the doors open for things that you may like to get involved in or even to progress onwards. I would without a doubt always recommend Cummins as they truly are a Top Class Company !

The Cummins interview process is great and you are made to feel comfortable from the moment you step in the door.
