I'm a test engineer so I work on making sure equipment performs the way it's designed to confirm that it works.
The skill I have developed since joining is problem solving. When something goes wrong or doesn't work as intended, I have to figure out what is wrong with the equipment and that has developed problem solving.
I mildly enjoy the program. Learning about how the products work is interesting to me.
I feel like at times, there are some things that are not organised properly which can lead to confusion among apprentices.
I feel like due to the training being all online, it is harder to receive support compared to if it was delivered in person however I feel like the training provider tries to support as much as they can where possible.
There are opportunities for extra curricular activities but I have not explored them much so far.
Yes
I feel like the apprenticeship is a good way to develop skills whilst gaining a qualification in engineering which is a good way of building experience whilst progressing academically.
To be yourself and express your interest and passion for engineering.
