Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
So, my role here at Pearson as an operative is at the moment working in the warehouse and logistics side of the business. This also will include the dispatch and receiving of parcels in the business. I also deal with coursework, and I also provide in house training services for al warehouse equipment.
My role also will cover Health and safety checks within my area as well as enforce the use of the correct PPE in the warehouse.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
The level of Joy this program has brought me is hard to quantify. I have been working for Pearson 16 years this year and I was starting to feel stale and stuck and then the Apprentiship program came along and showed me that there is so much more that I can be doing within Pearson with my new skills.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
During my time on the apprentice program, I have learned so much thanks to the amazing support from the Apprentiship team.
I have been able hold meetings with people that are so far above me within Pearson to question them on Health and Safety.
I have been able to look for improvement projects for the area that I work in and with the new skills that I now have, I am able to push these projects thru.
One of the most important things I feel I have gained so far on my Apprenticeship in my eyes is I have a whole new level of self-belief, and this is all thanks to the Apprenticeship Team.
