Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work Monday to Thursday and have Fridays off for studying. I work collaboratively with wider teams within my organisation as well as other businesses and agencies. I am trusted to run multiple social media brand accounts and lead social media campaigns.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I am so glad that I chose to kick-start my career with this apprenticeship rather than having gone to university. I think this scheme is amazing!

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I love that much of what I learn on my study days, I can apply straight away to my role. Every day I continue to expand my business knowledge as well as developing relationships with my colleagues and often leading projects.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The scheme has a very clear structure and is very well organised. There are dedicated teams to make sure our experience runs smoothly.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Nestle has lots of apprentices and they constantly check-in to make sure they are supporting us and providing us with everything we need.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I see my training provider weekly and they are always on hand if I need them at any other point in the week.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I think that my qualification goes hand in hand with my role as I can always use my own job as a case study for the theories and concepts that we learn about.
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
Myself and lots of the other apprentices meet up regularly for socialising and exercising. I am also invited to many networking and social events with my team.
