Continuous improvement and managing production to meet tonnage requirements

3/5
Overall very good, recent experiences have been more negative of late as I approach the end of the program. Stressful finding a job at the end.

Very well structured
How much support do you receive from your employer?

As much support as I need.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
As much support as I need.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
It doesn't. Mainly provides the theory behind the common sense of management and requires evidence of what I do on a day to day 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.)
1/5
None.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Nestlé to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Good opportunities and stable job. But must be flexible to relocate which is stressful and quite isolating if you're at a remote UK location. Not overly friendly towards young people.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Nestlé?
Research TPM, continuous improvement methodologies, become familiar with Nestles sustainability vision and how this links with current events. Be aware of the volatility of the economy and how that might be effecting nestle.
