What do you like about your job and the company?

My role is very flexible, I'm able to choose what I want to do within certain limits but also I'm able to work from home to look after my dog two days a week! Something else is the experience and knowledge that I'm able to gain from this apprenticeship.

Greatest achievements

I've recently been shortlisted and then announced as a finalist for Young Rail Professionals Apprentice of the Year. This is something that shocked me at first but then after it was explained the reasons for my nomination made me extremely proud and humbled. I feel lucky enough to be given such an opportunity like a degree apprenticeship let alone having the chance to win an award that sets me apart from the rest.

Top Insider Advice

Alstom's internal learning videos and courses are a good way to get an overview of a new topic, process or even a new language. In addition, a lot of new things are learned from experiences of other colleagues and during your own work - learning by doing! Try to pick up what is going on besides your own scope, exchange ideas during during a meeting or lunch time and ask questions. So, see you in the cantine?
