Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Planning the operations for the week ahead, making sure to tackle the backlog and plan effectively, daily meetings, communication with the shop floor, lots of responsibility
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy the program as it gives me a good overview of the entire company over the course of the apprenticeship without being stuck in one role, so then I can piece the puzzle together towards the end and truely understand where I want to go

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
New excel skills, communicating effectively, planning, problem solving

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I'd say it's well organised, with monthly workshops and a steady amount of off the job training to be completed around our placements
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support has been incredible, anything I need there will always be somebody there to help me or answer any questions I have, it's been really great
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Our tutor, has been incredibly supportive and always makes sure to ask if we need any assistance or if we'd like to go over any previous topics, also checks in if we have a tricky off the job assignment
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps cover all the key aspects within the supply chain, learning about procurement, or logistics before entering a placement based on that can provide a good foundation to build upon
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are plenty of activities that are ongoing, I haven't participated in any, but there is always the option in the future
