  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I feel as though there needs to be more structure at company. When I say this I mean knowing what your doing day to day instead of coming in wondering what your meant to do. I do also feel as though new apprentices should go around with the older engineers doing breakdowns and day to day maintenance to get them used to the machinery and environment.
