Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am a Talent Brand Apprentice. I work in the Employer Branding team and a lot of my work involves social media; content creation and recruitment marketing.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Very much. It is very practically aligned to my work.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have massively. I have developed my communication, analysis, critical thinking and creative skills the most and it has been great!
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well structured.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My manager is very invested in my development and I have been given the permission to dedicate the time I need to work on my qualification.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A lot of support. I have a very understanding and very helpful skills coach and QA is incredible in general. Our lecturer is a legend and teaches with a lot of care and patience.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification helps me become more strategic and more intentional about how I work and what the goals should be. It is really helping me craft my skill
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
Yes, there are. I have actually just recently been appointed as a lead for our Pride Network in Newcastle alongside a colleague of mine. I am very excited about that and we have numerous opportunities through Sage Foundaton, to get involved with giving back to society.
