Overview of Role

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

4/5

I tend to support on several projects, with my daily tasks including: writing reports, coordination, sending emails, assisting project managers etc.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

The level of work was very minimal to begin with, however now that I have taken on more responsibility and signed up for additional roles I feel more utilised and noticed in the office.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Yes, definitely. My confidence in the workplace has grown significantly since I started my apprenticeship. I have developed existing skills such as time management and organisation.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

Despite my type of apprenticeship being fairly new, I think that the programme is well thought-out and structured sensibly. The learning provider still has things to learn however I feel as though this is improving over time.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I am very well supported at work, with enough time allocated for university work and off-the-job training hours. Additionally, I am included in all of the office socials and team days which makes me feel much more comfortable with my colleagues.

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

3/5

My training provider is somewhat helpful when I require support. At first, contacting my lecturers was quite difficult, however I have seen a significant improvements in this over the first year at the university.

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

4/5

My qualification links directly to my job role within the environment and sustainability sector.

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 tend to get involved in as many extra-curricular activities as possible. We have monthly pay-day work events as well as many socials in between. I found that these were really useful for getting to know other people in my office.
