Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work primarily in innovation looking at solutions for existing contracts. Almost like a consultant for existing contracts who are lacking or require innovation. Day to Day can be anything from site visits, admin duties, networking and supplier meetings.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
2020 was a difficult year to start an apprenticeship but CEVA have helped facilitate me in the best way they could. Now I have a more structured role, I massively enjoy my job and the university learnings that I can apply to the workplace.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed Confidence, business formalities, excel skills alongside a growing knowledge of the logistics industry.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
As we are the first intake of degree apprenticeships, I think it could do with a more structured program so every apprentice gets the best possible experience they can. These are teething problems that can be ironed out.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My manager gives me freedom and support where needed alongside a mentor would supports also.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
If I needed support, I know I could go to my university lecturers and they would help me as much as I needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Massively, I feel like the course is very well structured to allow for work and study to develop our skills and knowledge.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Yes mainly sports events but we haven't had the chance to participate yet due to covid 2020.
