Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I run the “core” side of the store, overseeing all day-to-day processes. This encompasses everything from all aspects of goods movement to recruitment!
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoyed all aspects of the programme, with certain modules being more enjoyable than others (predominantly dependant upon the work that was required to be carried out, with more practical work being preferred.. but that is my own preference!)
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have certainly developed existing skills, and also learnt new skills that have proven to be very useful! Not only did learning something new help to reignite my passion for my role, it also helped me to progress and perform at a higher level.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
At first I couldn’t see how the modules would tie in with each other, but after a couple of months I experienced first hand how knowledge from one module was carried over in to another to build on previous learnings. This programme structure worked really well.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I received as much help as I required, with time being put aside each work to complete different parts of my work. My mentor was also excellent, and it was a pleasure to work with her!
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The training provider provided a varying degree of support, dependant upon your own needs, but with a wealth of information available via their learning portal.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Even if I had not learnt anything new (which I have), the development and progression that I was party to has resulted in my performance improving, as I am better able to carry out my role.
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
My work hold professional networking events, as well as holding in-house training events. These are held for a variety of colleagues at different levels, allowing everyone an opportunity to improve.
