Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work within the operations department at Christies supplying business support to collogues across Europe. This support includes creating client contracts and shipment details to transfer items across our Christie's sale site.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy working in my department due to the friendly and welcoming staff. But I also thoroughly enjoy working for the company as a whole due to the events and auctions I have been able to experience. This has given me an exciting insight into the art industry.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Networking, Presenting confidentially and collaboration
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
My programme is balanced out between department work but also apprenticeship work. However, this balance fluctuates depending on the busy seasons within the company, when there is multiple sales within a short period of time.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My manager and members of my department are very hands on when it comes to both my training but also making sure I have a positive mindset or wellbeing. They are all very encouraging when it comes to approaching new tasks and opportunities.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I have a monthly catch-up with my apprenticeship coach and a monthly module call with my whole training provider cohort. In this call we go over the learning and resources for our next module.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Through Multiverse I have learned many new data orientated points which I have transferred into my work excel spreadsheets and tasks.
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 regular events that are held both across the company but also within departments to encourage networking and collaboration,
