Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I manage shopping centres and am involved with calculating turnover rents, tracking and strategising regarding arrears, communicating with tenants and clients to ensure we are meeting their strategy.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy this program as I am able to gain valuable experience in the workplace while being able to earn and also achieve a degree with my allocated study time.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes I have developed skills of using complex data systems, communicating with clients and colleagues and also presenting data and analysing information.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I am enjoying the structure as there is a distinct split between my studying and my work where I am able to focus on my studies during times I do not have any work to focus on or be distracted by.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot, my line manager meets with me regularly to catch up with me, I have a buddy who is also an apprentice to ask apprenticeship related queries and I also have many people in my team and wider team who I can ask for work related advice.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have an apprenticeship outcome officer who I can contact anytime that I have a UCEM related query and I also have forums where I can contact module leaders and other pupils with any degree queries that I have.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
As it's early I have not completed a lot of my studies however I have already found a lot of the sustainability work beneficial in helping me understand ESG within my role.
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
Yes there are a lot of opportunities to get involved in for example I was involved in a wheelchair basketball event the other week where I met people from other offices and departments.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Savills to a friend?
Yes
Why?
A lot of support during a difficult transition from education to a full time job which I am having to balance with a degree. This allows me to be in my degree mindset during study days and work mindset during my working days.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Savills?
Be confident and think about what we as a team would want from an apprentice not only as a employee but as a team member and friend.
