Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My apprenticeship is based in different departments of the business therefore meaning I get exposure to many parts of the business. On a day to day basis at the moment I am dealing with suppliers and supplier order books.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme as I believe it has and will continue to give me exposure to various areas of the business. This will then help me to identify where I wish to take my career further.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, communications between internal and external personnel. Also computer skills and being able to work out mathematical information to assist in my daily roles

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I believe it is well structured with transitioning placements and organising college days/masterclasses.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I believe that we receieve a good amount of support from our areas that we are in.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Yeovil College always support my journey and my lecturer is always able to answer any questions I have as quickly as possible
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I believe that it helps me dig deeper into my role and evalute what I take part in, however, with me being early in the programme it is hard to say that the college work that I am doing has a direct and noticeable impact on my performance yet.
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
At the moment not physcially, however, Leonardo host a number of virtual activities for employees to part-take in at their own pleasure.
