Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Currently, I'm working within the customer affordability and vulnerability team where I'm actively working to alleviate customer debt and use my digital marketing expertise to target these customers with resources that can benefit and empower them.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I love being on this programme due to the community that has been created so far. Moving around different placements have allowed me to create a large network around the business as well as meeting the new apprentices that have joined the programme.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Since the last review I've been able to work on my stakeholder management and engagement proficiency. This has been done through my placements within marketing campaign roles where I've had to work with local councils and my placement in external affairs where I've had to create discourse amongst target MP's

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very structured. Every 6 months we rotate around the business to different placements of our own choice. These placements can either be extended or cut which demonstrates the flexibility we have. For every placement there is also 2 university progress meetings, a mid placement review meeting and a end of placement review.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
A great thing about this programme is the amount of support options that are available. There is the apprenticeship team that oversees the programme, your line manager, your workplace mentor, your university mentor, university lecturers, placement colleagues and even other older apprentices. If in doubt E.ON will always have support available.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
My training provider is my university and they offer a plethora of support options. From university review meetings to mental health support, there isn't a time where you won't be supported.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Since my qualification directly parallels the work I do in my placements, I feel confident enough to bring new ideas to the table especially when it comes to decisive marketing brainstorming sessions.
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
From my own experience there hasn't been any extra curricular activities within my work but definitely plenty from university (my training provider).

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Nottingham Trent University?
