Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Ad-hoc tasks whilst supporting the apprenticeship team and the work experience lead for NHFT.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy it a lot as I haven't ever studied business before.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have built on my existing communication skills through engagement events that I have attended with the work experience lead. I have also learnt some IT skills that I didn't have previously (e.g. booking rooms on Outlook and creating meetings on Microsoft Teams).
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is well-organised, however I do feel like I miss out on any actual teaching (online or in-person) as I am only given coursework and assignments to complete by my tutor.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive support always (when needed), whether that is in my role or in my apprenticeship. Immensely grateful for the support I receive from my line manager and employer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive support often from my training provider, however there has been recently no communication from them whatsoever.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
As business and administration go hand in hand, I would say that my qualification allows me to understand the depths of my role and how to deal with things like project management.
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
There are constant events taking place to build our skills and knowledge. These also work great as networking events as I get to meet a range of colleagues in varying professions across the Trust.
