Overview of Role

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

4/5

My apprenticeship rotates around 4, 6 month placements. I am currently in my first placement which is mainly gathering data and creating PowerPoints to reflect shortages.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I have really enjoyed my first placement, the team have welcomed me and supported me throughout. They have to taught me a lot about the role and have taken time out to teach me different skills

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have developed my communication skills and the importance of working within a team

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

I think there is a good structure to my programme but I feel as though it could be better. Wether it’s because my apprenticeship is new and we’re the second year or because we started during covid, but I think there should be more structure

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I receive a lot of support from my employer. They put in reviews every now and then to see if we’re doing okay or if we have any questions

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

4/5

I think we receive a lot of support and good content that helps us understand the different aspects that go into a supply chain

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

4/5

I feel as though the qualification provides a lot of overview and in depth learning in to the different aspects of the supply chain for example the world of procurement and what it takes to fine a good supplier

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

I am part of the union, Young Apprentice Ambassador Network (YAAN), Charted institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT), Local Apprentice Council (LAC) and the apprentice newsletter.
