Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am tasked with numerous project tasks or projects to complete. These tasks can range from documentation, creating a risk analysis, arranging and hosting meeting, filming and editing videos regarding processes within the company to show to other sites internally or externally. With this brings a range of responsibilities due to the variety of tasks I could undertake, it provides a continuous learning experience in how to handle new challenges and complete tasks to the best of my ability.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy the programme I am currently in due to all the new aspects I continue to learn upon and grow from. There are also a range of activities to partake in, which always provide some new challenges and ways to improve upon my current skill set and develop new skills.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have been able to develop upon a range of existing skills, such as my communication skills, if it is not by hosting meetings and being able to communicate effectively to ensure myself and the team complete the tasks assigned. Which in turn relates to me developing my leaderships skills, where I had to host meetings and arrange them to complete an essential task related to a project. Also I have learnt new skills by doing training courses and kaizens, which have been very beneficial to my day to day role.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme has been structured very well, especially considering that this is the first time the business has had project management apprentices. I would say after the first initiation phase some of the structure wasn't there but after having a discussion with my apprenticeship guide, then my managers. I was able to get the structure I needed and it is going well in that sense.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support I receive from my employer, has been really good. Any issues I have are dealt swiftly and I know I can ask my employer for any clarification regarding the process. If there are any tools or resources needed for my apprenticeship, they are always willing to help where and when they can. So, I have had no issues with the support my employer has provided .
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My college has provided me with a lot of support during my apprenticeship course. This is due to them providing a apprenticeship mentor who I have regular catch ups with and I can ask question regarding the course or the college. Then the apprenticeship tutor they have provided me with, has been very helpful as they are willing to provide support wherever they can to ensure my success.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
During my apprenticeship course, I have gained a ton of relevant information and knowledge that I have been able to utilize during my time at work. Every session at college teaches me something, with something I have already experienced at work or know I will experience. Such as particular challenges that my arise or just a greater understanding of the role itself. This provides me with insightful information, which allows me to do my job role better.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are a range of extra-curricular activities to be a part of within my workplace. If it is not a charity event, it could be a school visit around the local area. It could also be visits to places around the UK in which we will try to achieve the goal of a 100k walk. My workplace makes an active effort to provide extra-curricular activities.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Siemens Healthineers?
I would say be yourself especially during the interview process, this is due to this being an apprenticeship course. In which they are very understanding of you not holding all the skills necessary to the role. As they understand that this is something you can develop throughout you time as an apprentice, so it would have to be show your personality as much as you can and continue to give it your all, throughout all the interview process.
