Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Team leader- as a manager I have to run shifts, train colleagues, change planograms, call IT or facilities if we experience any problems, motivate my team, delegate tasks, occasionally fill the shelves.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy the programme. My favourite parts are the learning conferences as I get to interact with other apprentices on my programme (over teams at the moment)

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, learning new management techniques, coaching tips and tools, difficult conversation techniques.
Also developing existing customer service skills and general leadership qualities.

A lot. I have weekly catch ups with my store manager regarding my progress (at the moment over email).
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Yes, at the moment everything is over teams, but I have just attended an event on diversity and inclusion on microsoft teams, which was a great networking event for me to be at.
