Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

I manage the operational aspects of our Apprenticeship programmes.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I have very much enjoyed my learning journey and have taken a lot from the experience. I have however found it very challenging at times to manage my time.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have developed my knowledge and understanding of the wider HR function and how this impacts on the investment in our human capital. I also, have a much better appreciation for how HR can influence business strategy and should uphold the ethical and social responsibility.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

My programme has been very well structured and has introduced topics in a very engaging and digestible fashion.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

My line manager has attended every one of my meetings with my assessor and coach. I have been fully supported and recognized for my achievement throughout.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

I have regular visits with my learning coach and I attend regular informative webinars with my assessor. Any queries I have had have been addressed promptly and I feel supported and guided through the process.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

I feel that I have gained a much broader perspective and I have been pushed to work closer with HR colleagues. Both of these have had a beneficial impact on my ability and performance in my current 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

We have regular welfare meetings and social catch ups with colleges (such at coffee afternoons and quiz nights) that have been very beneficial during the lock down period.
