Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
We work as sales executives, doing a range of cold calling to drive new business opportunities and maintain existing customer relationships.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the work aspect of the role a lot, however the apprenticeship side can sometimes be tedious, the roles and responsibilities we are given in the work place, however, are great.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed my customer service skills and learnt how to handle objection and deal with rejection in the office.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
From the internal perspective we understand our roles well and are given regular training sessions however there is sometimes some confusion with our course work etc.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
We have many levels of support to go to depending on what the issue is and how high it needs to be escalated all of which are always happy to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
We are given regular booked in sessions as well as drop in calls that we can use to contact them. Also should we need we can always contact them directly.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Some of the skills that we learn on our trips to wyboston with our training provider have been very useful and the role plays that we do there are often used in our day to day jobs.
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 many sports teams and other activities to join in on as well as TNO's and more team oriented things to do which are often organised. Both during the day and night time.
