Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
The role involves both site and office activities with regular meetings. The office based work can include documenting, talking with suppliers and researching different local areas. We also have the chance to go to events to talk about the apprenticeship.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the program to the highest extent imaginable.
Skills Development

5/5
My professional etiquette has improves. My IT skills have improved and so has my timekeeping.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The structure started off quite poor due to the lack of experience dealing with apprentices however they quickly adapted and now have an amazing structure which is created around how we work best as individuals.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Any support needed i can get, no matter the reason we have a way to get the support needed. This includes mental health first aiders on site and online support for financial issues or anything else.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
An incredible amount, the training provider always has someone there if we need it.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Not so much. The training provider helps with 'business admin' however the majority of the work we do doesn't coincide with this.
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
We have bene to many careers events, 3 professional networking events and every Monday we host tag rugby where anyone can come and play from the business.
