Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I manage stock levels at an account level, we have bi-weekly meetings to go through the status of the stock and to drive down the aged stock in the warehouse.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I find the provider challenging to deal with so often feel unmotivated however, with a good tutor it can be great.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Managing stock is something I previously have not done, doing this I have developed great communication and time management skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
It is structured well but the organisation often lacks, the schedule often overlaps or changes last minute which makes it extremely hard to plan my work around.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
The support from the future talent team has been great, one of the main reasons I have carried on with the programme.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Outside of the lectures, there is not much support. The tutors are available for 121s but I find they give very generic feedback which is not always useful.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel this varies module to module, some are much more relevant to my role than others. I do not manage a team and I find some modules can be quite different to my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
I sometimes attend professional networking events with our vendors. I would like to do this more.
