Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am a case manager in the Department for Work and Pensions. I contact claimants and complete actions on their claim to ensure they receive exactly what they are entitled to.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I feel like some of it isn't actually relevant to customer service but I do enjoy completing the asks set for me.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed exiting skills. From having completed the Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship previously I have already gained some of the skills needed for this apprenticeship. Lately I have developed these skills significantly.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is well organised. I know what I need to complete by what date.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My employer doesn't have much of an input with my apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a lot of support. Tasks are explained clearly and in detail.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I would say it has a small impact on my role as of current but I feel it will have more of an impact as I continue with the apprenticeship.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Not many that I am aware of.
