Apprentice Review

I am a HGV Mechanics apprentice at Babcock, on a day to day basis I will start work on the given section I am working on.

I have developed skills over my time as an apprentice and been given opportunities to see how the business works.

Although I do enjoy my job and the tasks, jobs and work I do, I cannot say I have enjoyed my time as a whole.

Very poorly, if anything none existent. I am a HGV mechanics apprentice and only in my last year, 4 months prior to the end point examination have I been able to actually work on a HGV vehicle.

Little help as a whole, however there are people who can see our struggle and go out of their way to give us the help we need and ask for.

It would be wrong of me to say we have no help, but a lot of it feels like we have been employed and forgotten about.

Like I said in my third and final year, only a couple months from my end point assessment do I now only have the opportunity to work on my specific role.

There was a football team.......

No

My experiences from the company have been poor and these things add up and stack up and start taking a toll on your mental health.

Be strong willed and resilient, learn how to fend for yourself, respect those who respect you because you do not get a lot of it. Be the grey man and stay out of trouble.
