Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
A range of admin jobs for various people and teams. Chances to take lead roles and manage projects.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the majority of the work i do. Some days can be busy whereas others are slow. Would be better if it was consistent.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed a range of skills, such as communication, adaptability, confidence, resilience and leadership.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
It is somewhat organised. We have college days usually one a month to complete an assignment and learn new things, but these are sometimes cancelled or just not very well structured/ organised on the day.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a good amount of support from my employer by having i weekly 1-1 check ins. LPR's are done every 12 weeks too.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
If i have any questions on my assignment , the skills coaches are usually pretty good at answering these, or i sometimes go to my colleagues in the office for support. The only thing that is lacking is the amount of time it takes for an assignment to be marked.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel it helps a little but i learn more from doing so being learning from colleagues rather than college days is more beneficial to me.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are opportunities to join apprentice councils but not much else from my knowledge.
