Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy the actual job function as it keeps me busy everyday with all different tasks, also I really enjoy the working environment.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes I have gained a wide variety of skills and also developed ones I already had.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I think my programme is quite well structured, there has been a few hiccups but that is expected.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer especially my line manager who supports me everyday.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I think I receive a lot of support from my training provider and my tutor as she is always willing to book in extra sessions to help me if I am stuck or want to work through certain work with her.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think it helps defiantly to understand the environment a bit more, but also business admin is such a vast subject that it can sometimes not have much involvement in my everyday role.
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
There are different groups which you can join to be a part of a team and also organised events where everyone goes out together to socialise.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Wates to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I think it is a good inclusive company to work for where many of the managers want to push you to reach your best abilities. It is a fast paced environment which will always keep you on your toes and feel like you have accomplished a lot.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Wates?
I would say just be open and honest during the application stage and they will generally try and fit you into the team which you will work the best in.
