Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

My role involves supporting the project planner on my current project in gathering information around progress on project scope. I also sometimes update these things myself to gain independent experience and confidence.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I really enjoy my apprenticeship.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Yes, I have developed skills in multiple areas which I would not have been able to do without BBK.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

Very well organised in the workplace, college would be better if it was more structured if i’m honest.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5

I couldn’t ask for more, it was not great when I first started but since my line manager switch things have improved. Sometimes it can be hard to communicate but on the whole I like my relationship with LM.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

It could be better tbh.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

I don’t feel like it correlates majorly.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

1/5

We don’t have any social events to get involved in, I would prefer it if we did tbh as it would build relationships with people in the environment. We don’t get to do enough things as a team.
