Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am a regional project consultant, I work on improving the recruitment processes and supporting our recruitment teams in regions
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am enjoy the programme and the learning I am gaining from it. I have catch ups with my tutor every 8 - 12 weeks to ensure I'm progressing
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Learnt more about Employment Law during my People Professional Level 5 apprenticeship, also I have learnt many analysis techniques and how best to use them
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I have had to chase for schemes of work and documents, and we struggled to have the correct content taught due to different tutors, but I feel the organisation is getting better now. I now know my workshops for the rest of the year so can plan around them
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My organisation has been very supportive and lets me be involved in projects relating to my apprenticeship. Also, I have monthly catch ups with my Line Manager where my apprenticeship is discussed.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
So far I haven't had to resubmit any assignments, so haven't needed support on these. I think it has become more structured now, to start with there was confusion on how to meet the duties and they have changed the off the hours log to be just knowledge
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Helps me have a broader HR knowledge, in areas that I might not get involved in e.g. training and Employment Law. This helps my knowledge when working with these teams during my projects.
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
Lidl has a social events committee and often has events that you can get involved it, invites are sent and you can join when you are available (for example sip and paint). Also, we are often sent awards and networking meetings that we can attend/ have tickets for (for example Rec Fest)
