Overview of Role

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

5/5

My role at Travis Perkins is working in the apprenticeship team. I help the coaches enroll learners onto apprenticeships and gather all of the documentation required to do so. As well as this I help with the admin for the learning support provisions we have.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I do enjoy my programme a lot, however I feel that trying to balance the work load along side my job role is difficult. I do find myself panicking about my apprenticeship work and getting it done

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have learnt recruitment skills, these include having the confidence to call people over the phone and ask for their documents we require. As well as this I can use our online systems, including maytas, google sheets and google drives

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

I have not found the structure of my programme is cause any difficulties to me. It is easy to read and to find the content I need for each module

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I received an amazing amount of support. I recently bought up the fact I was struggling with my workload along side moving into a different job-role and my coach was amazing and supported me with additional meetings and ensuring everyone knew I needed the time to do my work

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

3/5

The support from my training provider is also really good. I do think it would be useful to allow allocated time to complete the apprenticeship work so that other colleagues can ensure they do not book in time to my diary.

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

4/5

A lot of my programme work is not directly linked to the job role I currently do, however the module's still give me a good insight into different areas of the business

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

I am not aware of any extra-curricular activities. As we work from home these would be difficult to organise.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Travis Perkins plc to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I have never felt so supported and comfortable working for a team before. I never get judged for my work or personal life, which I be I believe is so important when working in a team.
