apprentice Review

I am an assembly line apprentice which means I learn different work packages on the line and also go on placements in different departments

I've learnt to work to a Takt time and follow work processes. I've also learnt continuous improvement methods and principles to help improve processes and working areas to make them more efficient.

As a whole i feel like i have enjoyed the programme so far as i've learnt new skills and experienced a variety of departments.

I feel like there is a slight lack of organisation and structure as we dont find out until late notice what is happening with things like non-lauch days/weeks. I also don't get the impression that there is much communication between apprentice managers and department managers as department managers are often unaware of mandatory apprentice activities

lots of support is provided by managers, for example if i have a question about something they are usually good at getting back to me with an answer

the college tutors are really good at helping us with our work and being able to go into depth whats required of us with our assessments

The college course is fairly tailored to rolls royce as lots of terms used at work, such as 5s, are further developed on in the course

There is apprentice social activities like going for a meal or going to the pub and there is also sports activities such as football and go karting.

Yes

Its an enjoyable way to get qualifications and work experience while also getting paid

If you're interested and have a passion for rolls royce and the automotive industry then it's a good apprenticeship for you and when you apply make sure you show them those qualities.
