Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am involved in running reports, sending out internal communications, preparing presentations, updating spreadsheets and getting involved in understanding the products we design and build.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I was anxious coming into such a big company, but within the first few days everything i was worried about had disappeared. The company and individual teams all make me feel welcome and encourage me to develop my understanding and skills daily. I really enjoy my apprenticeship.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Developed my communication, administration and collaboration.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
We have regular contact with our function lead, cohorts and have clear deadlines and structure to my apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have lots of support from my employer and anytime i have reached out for help i have always been acknowledged and helped.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider is continually looking for areas to improve the service they offer and this continues to exceed my expectations.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Because my apprenticeship is so well structured i have clear levels of attainment to progress. Within my apprenticeship i go into placements that could be the job i could exit my apprenticeship from, so allowing me to experience the placements gives me an insight into the job i may have at the end.
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
I take part in STEAM club and have been made aware of the apprenticeship council that runs different social events.
