Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am an Inventory control operations manager, I look after supplier stock availability for sales and investigations and escalations of product discrepancies.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I do enjoy the programme. I do believe it is a great opportunity.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learned several new skills that have supported the expansion of my knowledge in operations.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme is well structured, however over the course of the apprenticeship so far I have moved from 3 different coaches with different expectations which makes it difficult to be consistent in delivering my work.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer fully supports my development, giving me time to work on my assignments when required.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I do receive support, however it is not very consistent as my trainer has changed three times.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The experience received from the apprenticeship so far has provided me opportunities to complete projects that normally would not be in my scope of work.
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
