Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves working with my team to create strategies for improving our brands. I get to help with advertising campaigns, social media and other smaller admin tasks such as gifting to influencers or consumers.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The company is great and has a lot to offer in all aspects of the business. You are respected as an apprentice and can get involved in all areas.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
My knowledge within consumer goods as a whole has improved significantly and I have begun to understand how the world of marketing works.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Day to day within my team it is very organised, however there could be some slight improvements to the apprenticeship side. You are trusted to maintain a healthy work/study balance.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My employer is on hand whenever needed however they do not have much involvement in my day to day work life.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The training provider is very good at providing us with all the help and resources needed to excel at our course.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My role and my qualification link quite closely therefore it gives me an extra layer of insight that some of my colleagues may have not explored.
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
I am involved in my netball team which is great fun and helps you to meet new people in other parts of the business. There are also lots of other activities that you can get involved in.
