Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme is well structured I always know when my
University deadlines are and who to contact if I need support.
There are times when I don't know if University will be online/ in person or if the dates are changing which can sometimes make it hard to plan.

I always feel supported by my Line Manager and team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Good support from training provider- I know who to contact if I need support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The training course provides more context to business decisions and I am able to apply learnings to the workplace. I wouldn't say it helps me to perform better but rather it gives me more knowledge that I can apply when making decisions.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Sometimes, I know there are other locations within Unilever who offer more extra curricular activities.
