I currently work in broadcast engineering, fixing and repairing industrial equipment associated with TV and radio broadcast across the UK.

Examples of my career development so far:

• Passing my initial apprenticeship - 2 years of day release at University with the rest of the time learning on the job. 
• Passing my companies internal apprenticeship - After the 2 initial years, i had 2 more years of on the job working/studying which was completed with a day of theory and practical tests/exams, failing would mean losing the job.
• Meeting the criteria to enable me to join the teams "on-call rota" which meant lone working with potentially dangerous equipment.
• After my annual reviews at work, my manager and I agreed goals for me to hit to get a promotion from Broadcast Technician to Broadcast Engineer. After a year or so of working at it i achieved this goal and was promoted to Engineer.
