Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Supporting colleagues in their work and getting an understanding of what is done and how the company works in different departments.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy my apprenticeship as I work with good people and I learn a lot.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
It is my first job so I have learnt a lot about acting in a professional workspace and being on time and dressing accordingly. I have also learnt how large organisations manage their employees and benefits and disadvantages of working for a large organisation.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is well structured I have a learning day once every 2 weeks and every week I have a day to complete my apprenticeship work.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive as much support as I need.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
As much as I need.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me perform better as I can take away a lot of my learnings and implement them in the workplace.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
My current manager is great at getting me to network with employees at different sites so I spend some time travelling to meet new people.
