Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I rotate between sales marketing supply and CDT, rotations are 9 months. I’ve started in sales and I’m a Customer Business Manager working in Nestle for Asda Confectionery, getting trained by a line manager.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I do enjoy it, my uni degree is from Coventry uni, but we’re being taught by a social business called Wild Hearts. This means that I’m getting a lot of context whilst learning which feels very satisfying!
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Excel, Confidence, Time management, Knowledge.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It’s the first year that they’ve changed the programme, so there were a few mishaps to begin with, but they responded to our feedback very quickly and I feel the organisation is getting much better.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
A lot. We have a day-to-day line manager, normal line managers, the academy team and our tutors.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
This is still slightly blurry, but we have very close tutors that help us, a lecturer who is very approachable, but I’m not too sure yet about their relationship with Coventry uni.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel I have answered this in the above.
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
Yes, ALOT! There’s a very large diversity and inclusion programme that has streams like ‘one work’ (focussing on sustainability) and Eradicating Racism Network. I really appreciate these. Also, because there are a lot of graduates and apprentices in the company, we do a lot together!
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Nestlé to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The culture is great and I feel I’m learning a lot.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Nestlé?
Be yourself. They want to change and that will only happen through diversifying the work force.
