Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Finding problems with in the business - customer, internal issues or any other problem and turning them in to an improvement.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Its been difficult to juggle alongside day to day role, but has been pivotal in making me be more successful in doing my role. I think sometime due to the provider being external, being able to overlay examples from the theory to the day to day has been difficult for the provider.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have learnt lots of new skills and developed existing skills - such as more around problem solving, root cause analysis, stakeholder mapping and mangement, data analysis plus more

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Well organised and structured, however at the beginning of the apprenticeship we were given a choice to conduct the apprenticeships in different ways - learn up front and do coursework afterwards, learn as you go spacing out modules etc, I think the recommended way should be that this is conducted upfront ahead of the coursework/project.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I know that they are there if I need their help and support. Again though due to lack of exposure to the business its hard for them to support fully and thats not their fault.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
as much as I need, it is on me to ask for the support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
hugely, its been massive in ensuring I am working to full potential in my role and is also helping me pave the path for my future career.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes frequently.
