I complete one uni day a week and work 4 other days. My role varies on which placement I am in, I usually complete tasks to help the team I am working with at the time set by my line manager/leader for that placement.
I've learnt how to use multiple new types of software like Enterprise Architect and Matlab. I've also build new communication skills from speaking to my team and speaking on team meetings.
I really enjoy my apprenticeship and think it's a great mix of learning whilst developing workplace skills.
I think my programme is quite well structured and explained
I receive plenty of support from my Line manager, my team and Early Careers as well as having support from uni.
Plenty of support in and outside uni, easy to contact them for help.
Although they're not directly linked some of the things we learn can be applied into our day to day working life and can make certain projects easier. E.g. some of the software we learnt at uni I also used at work.
There are plenty of Stretch Opportunities (e.g. assisting with interviews, career fairs) to get involved with which introduces you to a range of new people and skills
Yes
I believe it's a great opportunity and provides great workplace experience whilst learning and provides plenty of opportunities to develop new skills.
Stay relaxed and explain why you want to work there, what pulled you in and why you think it would be a good job for you as well as past experiences that link to the job role you're applying for.
