Revolve around business placement specific to scheme and undertake work both technical and general in order to complete tasks and contribute to different team outputs.
I've learned a host of new skills including stakeholder management; scientific and technical communication; project management; computer modelling; manufacturing process creation etc.
Thoroughly enjoy it!
Very well organised and structured, requires apprentices to be responsible for their own development too which is good.
Support is faultless, numerous ways to get support if needed.
Support is great.
Nuclear engineering degree for a nuclear engineer makes a good fit - helps a lot.
We're working on improving this aspect of our schemes but there is plenty there for those proactive enough to find them!
