Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role is to take the promotional campaigns that come through from the retail and trading teams, and translate them for our website. This includes briefing our digital design team and coordinating with our online merchandisers.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
My program gave me a solid base of marketing theory on which to build and apply in the real world.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have become more confident in my own abilities. I can trust my own judgment and use my voice in a more powerful way to influence my stakeholders.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
I felt that organisation was the downfall, I found my provider didn’t keep in touch and that I had to chase them for a lot of information. I didn’t know who my main contact was there sometimes.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot of support was given to me by my manager. They were great at giving me time to learn and study. The organisation as a whole gives apprentices a great experience and I feel like they value what we’re doing.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
I had a good mentor and she gave me support, outside of that there really wasn’t any from anyone else.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualification has given me a lot of confidence in myself. I have a better understanding of how to link all our marketing functions together and how to plan.
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
There were before covid, this seems to have declined a bit since then.
