Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work for a Council in their HR department. I manage the Admin side for most of my colleagues. My job role is new to the company so my overall job role is subject to change.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The programme is very enjoyable and my tutor is always there should I need any assistance for anything.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I am currently only on my second module, but I have learnt a lot more than I would have expected to learn (I have done Communications and Stakeholders)

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I think the programme is very structured. There is a formal review with my tutor and manager every 3 months, which gets booked in advance. And my tutor is always able to attend the module sessions every month.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My manager is very helpful, and allows me a day a week to focus purely on my apprenticeship work. She also likes to get involved with what I am learning with my tutor, to make sure my day to day work load helps my apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My tutor is always there when I have a question. In my first month, I was confused by the purpose of Off the job Hours, and my tutor dedicated half hour to go onto a call with me and help me understand.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Due to the work done in my apprenticeship, I now have more background information for my job, which helps me do my job effectively.
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
Due to my position in my organization, I am able to assist and take part in events that happen. As of today I have taken part in 2 career fairs, 1 staff event but are working towards a second in the next week.
