My apprenticeship has just advanced to the next stage which is learning the work I will be required to do by my employer. Prior to this from September to April I was in college full time learning basic domestic level 2 electrical work.
I have learnt many new skills since beginning my apprenticeship and I continue to learn every day and I'm very thankful for the opportunity to learn these skills.
As I moved forward to the next phase of my apprenticeship i have been enjoying it much more than my time in college. I loved both aspects of the work I was learning but my current environment is much better.
Whilst in college, there was many times I felt the organisation could have been improved. Especially the communication between my employer and the college. As well as the communication between my employers and the staff at the college.
The support from BAE is fantastic.
Sometimes the support from college was not what I initially expected and a lot of it seemed rushed.
I cannot argue the skills I have learnt have helped me in my current role. I'm very greatful for the skills I have learnt.
I have heard of a few extra curricular activities and I am currently involved in one.
Yes
Its an excellent place full of very skilled individuals. And learning a trade can be invaluable. Very thankful for the opportunity!
Do your research, in both the company and the role you're applying for. Ensure it is something you want to do. Be passionate about the work being carried out!
