Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves organising the staff into their job roles in order of priority, stocking shelves, managerial roles, giving good customer service and giving back to the community.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I do enjoy my programme because I meet new faces and explore new ways to action matters that I didn’t know how to before
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt to be more confident and learnt better management skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It is very structured, there are group conferences every 6-8 weeks, I have an apprenticeship visit from my tutor roughly every six weeks and we are able to have time off if struggling.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive support from my employer when needed
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider is always there to help whether I phone, text, email, or live video them.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel like it allows me to be more confident in what I am doing as I am the youngest team leader in my store so it helps with my experience and allows me to take different approaches to things that others may not be able to.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
We sometimes have charity events that we host where we take part in bake sales, the colleagues go out for Christmas parties or if it is someone’s birthday.
