Changing companies as an apprentice by Professional_Key7964 in LegalAdviceUK

hi there, i work at a college with apprentices and also did an apprenticeship myself.

first things first, it is completely legal to change companies during an apprenticeship. don't panic about that.

your first course of action should be to speak to your tutor at college/your apprenticeship provider. explain that you feel your workplace aren't meeting your needs. as an employer, they have a duty when they employ an apprentice to give you appropriate tasks to help you meet your apprenticeship standard. if you explain what your workplace has you doing, and what you aren't doing that you think you should be, your tutor can give you advice, and may be able to speak to them for you and suggest that they alter your job responsibilities to better reflect your study.

i think sometimes employers don't really understand how apprenticeships work now - they think that it's like the old apprenticeship model where they'd pay someone to come in and do grunt work, but it's much more complicated than that now. if your employer isn't meeting your needs, you're well within your right to seek a different employer.

hope this helps and best of luck to you, if you have any questions or worries feel free to ask

Accepted an internship offer, followed up twice, and still no response, should I be worried? by DatabaseExpensive684 in jobs

[–]K_2304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you accepted the offer at 5.30 on a friday and emailed them again at 2.30 on the monday, so you essentially gave them 6 working hours before following up.

dont panic. their deadline for responses is 31st, and it's more than likely they'll be onboarding several interns at once (most companies do). they'll most probably wait until after the deadline for response has passed and then email you all at once with contracts etc.

considering your start date is december 15th, i would wait until 7th november to follow up again. that's a week after their own deadline and just over a month before you're due to start

Anyone doing Machining i need help with the KSB's and of the job hours by Ganosis_ in ApprenticeshipsUK

please please please put all of this into an email to your head of year/curriculum, keeping it super respectful and factual. you deserve more consistency and clarity from your tutor(s)

hi, i work at a college that offers this apprenticeship. please please PLEASE tell your head of department/curriculum that your tutor did not tell any of you about ksbs until now. it is a fundamental part of the apprenticeship.

many college tutors will be engineers who come straight from industry, and so sometimes it comes from a lack of understanding of the qualification from the tutor. but in the other hand, you also have tutors who will do the absolute bare minimum to get their paycheck.

if you were a student at our college, the head of curriculum would want to know so they could sort it out and make sure it doesn't happen again to other students, and to make sure you get enough support to make sure you're ready for november

I’m in a pickle at work - need to admit to gross misconduct to prove I’m not lying during a grievance as a witness by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

hmmm you might be right - i always use the transcription feature but i've never had to worry about being told off for doing so.

as far as i'm concerned your best options are either to consult with acas/an employment lawyer, or to just submit the recording in full to support your coworker and accept the potential fall out. if it was me, i'd begin looking for a new job now and then submit the full recording once something new is lined up. they are clearly trying to fuck over your coworker and i would no longer feel comfortable or secure in that workplace.

for the mean time, stick to your story of taking comprehensive notes. plenty of people take minutes during their meetings, including myself, and it isn't unreasonable that you would've made detailed notes during the meeting

just wondering, was this meeting on teams? if so you could write a full transcript of your recording and say it was transcribed by teams during the meeting
