Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Plant operation making coffee based products.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Learning about the business on a bigger scale than just the department I work in currently.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
The learning is ongoing, although I now understand the company guidelines in several different areas.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
After the initial week away, we have been left to do the course on our own. It has felt a bit isolated without a route to gather information, nobody to ask anything from. I am not sure if we are doing it right or wrong.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
The 6hrs hours a week feels like it will be a problem very shortly as more people are off on holiday and as the department ramps up, I personally do about 15 hours a week in the library studying.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Not got that far yet.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I am not at manager level currently but I hope this course will eventually lead me onto that 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.)
1/5
Yes there is, I have in the past been the one who organised these events.
