2SFG Parents and Carers Guide to Apprenticeships

Hear from our Engineering Apprentice, Rhian

Rhian joined our 2 Sisters Sandycroft site in June 2022. We asked Rhian:

What apprenticeship are you studying? The apprenticeship I'm currently working towards is my Electrical Engineering at Deeside college which I attend 4 days a week. The course is a Level 2 PEO with Level 3 BTEC. Why did you apply for the role? I applied for this role because it was an amazing opportunity for me to be a part of something like this, being the first female engineer on site is a massive achievement to me. Also having such a great course offered to me at Deeside college was something I couldn't turn down. What have you learnt so far? In my college course I'm doing, I've learnt lots of Health and Safety during practical sessions and write ups; my practical skills have improved massively since September, also learning from doing our UPKS in class time. What has been the main challenge for you so far? The main challenge that I have come across so far is working in a new environment at college and coming across things I’ve never done in this line of work. What has been the highlight for you so far? The highlight for me so far was being able to come into work and know what I’m doing after being in college, plus making new friends along the way.

What are you looking forward to in the future? I’m looking forward to completing the college course and then starting in full time employment.
