Local manufacturing, helping with all aspects of this.
I have learnt new skills specific to engineering such as CAD, interpreting drawings, planning
there are aspects in which i enjoy, but overall I do not enjoy it
Not very well organised. Early careers team who look after apprentices are often hard to get hold of, and give different information to different people. A lot of mistakes are also made leaving apprentices in difficult positions.
In some aspects, I receive support which is above and beyond. This is from skills coaches. Higher up such as line managers within early careers has poor support for apprentices.
This is where I feel I get the most support, and have managed to stay on top of the work very easily.
I feel that performing well in my role comes mostly from those within my placement, not from the training provider.
There are some, but unless you know the correct people, the opportunities are very very minor. It is very much who you know, and opportunities are not readily available even if searched for.
Yes
I would recommend them as a company, but not for an apprenticeship.
Be honest, it doesn't matter if you don't know much already but a willingness to learn is most important
