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 account management at an operational level. I manage a few retailers by ensuring their orders are up to date; reviewing and analysing their accounts to streamline and optimise processes and efficiency from both sides.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my programme a lot as there is still the social element from being around other apprentices and interns as well as being treated and viewed as an important part of the team and not just an apprentice.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've learned numerous skills such as presenting to larger audiences and how to keep listeners engaged. I've also learned better collaboration skills with all types of stakeholders. Furthermore, I have improved on my relationship building skills .

I receive a lot of support from my employer e.g. study days allowance, my line manager is supportive in terms of releasing me of my workload if needed when i have deadlines etc.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There is a lot of support such as platforms with guidance for things such as mental health; needing deadline extensions; I also have an appointed apprentice advisor who I can go to for further support and help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
My qualification gives me the theoretical aspect to my role, as well as learning about what is happening in the real world and how it can impact my day-to-day role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes, there is sporting activities such as netball, football, charity events. Our teams also have social committees whom organise after work events such as axe throwing, mini golf etc.
