Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
On the graduate scheme, we rotate departments every 6 months so the day-today can vary a lot. I have been in HR, Policy and Comms placements and we are given a lot of responsibility as graduates but can also ask for help when we need it. ENGIE is a big business and there are lots of things going on all the time which we can get involved with.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
The apprenticeship had been helpful in developing skills needed in the business, but has been more limited due to Covid

How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Good support - as our managers know we are on a graduate scheme we are ok to take days off for training etc
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
A lot - Red Sky are a great provider, better than others I have heard about. Our modues are run well, we are given support with our Stretch Activities and our coach is always contactable
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The apprenticeship has helped develop key skills I will need to go from being a graduate to a permanent employee, but is not very industry-focused
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 - networks across the business for young people and females, volunteering for charity
