10/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I run the CNC machines. This means I program the machine then load the material in and machine the component. Then I would be stopping the machine along the way to check measurements.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I think it’s good and you learn a lot but not rushed to learn it. It gives you time to learn all you need before you are employed in your roll

I think it’s good as college one day a week then in work for the other 4 days so you get to learn what to do and how to do things safely. While being paid
