Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
The course I am doing involves a yearly rotation meaning over the four year period of my apprenticeship I will have experienced four different job roles. In my current rotation I am an HR executive and have been working with our Reward team and Talent Acquisition Team. Everyday is different but I am currently working on projects for employee recognition, pension schemes and employee benefits.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have thoroughly enjoyed my programme so far and fully supported in everything I have do will still being given the opportunity to use my initiative and develop my skills. The culture of the business is very welcoming so I found it easy to fit into my team. My manage supports me not only with my work but also with my assignment.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my Excel knowledge and become more confident with using excel to analyse data and to feed data into the systems we use to ensure we have the best data quality possible. I have also improved my time management skills as I have to balance work load with my university assignments and lectures.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I think my first year rotation has been well organised and I was giving all the information I needed prior to my start day. However I feel there could be better communication between my employer and my university as sometimes it can feel they are not on the same page as one other. Individually I feel that everything has been structured well.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
There are many people I feel I could go to for support from my employee at it was main clear to us who to reach out to if we felt like we had an issue or needed support. Our early talents team as always happy to help and have regular catch ups with us as our managers.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I feel I am well support by my training provider and all tool I could use to help me when studying or writing an assignment were shown to us on our induction day. But I do think because we have block learning and are only on campus once every three months for a week it can come time feel like we are less supported.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Because we will work in many different roles I feel that the qualification will help different people at different time depending on what rotation they are in and what modules we are currently learning. The more we cover and change roles the more we will see where the training from our qualification helps our roles.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes, there are different actives to pick from depending on what suits you. We have employee networks and social networks so you can find liked minded people in the business. An example of some the the groups available are: running club, theatre lovers or diversity equity and inclusions employee network.
