Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
In my role as business administrative apprentice, I am required to have full knowledge of Office 365. I have also been aligned to a customer, where I am required to quote pricing on information technology products. Once these orders are placed, I am also required to find find proof of deliveries, and supply an estimated time of arrival.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme every day! I am lucky enough to walk into work every morning that every day is different. This keeps me engaged more and more every day, although they may begin as struggles, ultimately the excitement from the programme keeps me focused each and every day.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have not only developed on my information technology skill, but I have also developed on my maths and english. From making sure my emails are spelt and punctuated correctly, to counting the correct amount of products on an order, the job role requires me to develop these skills in day-to-day activities.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I find that my programme is structured perfectly! from the beginning of the course, we had an organised training period, where we learnt about the applications we will be using. Once this was over, we knew exactly when we would be moving into role. From this, I have been able to reach out to my manager as frequently as I liked, to ask of my learning outcome for the week. In addition to this, we also have monthly 1-2-1 sessions, ensuring my development is on track.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have received endless support from my employer, as I said, we have monthly 1-2-1 sessions regarding my progress. Not only this, I also am invited to numerous events with early careers, including a catch up session regarding our work and well-being. This has truly helped my transition into my role.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I am able to reach out to my training provider, numerous times a day, throughout the week. The level of support I have provided to me is the best I've seen! My tutor constantly checks in with me regarding my workload, always provides detailed feedback, which i can always count on to stretch my understanding/development.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I notice myself multiple times a day, referring to them work set by my training provider. Particularly when writing email, understanding regulations of the business, and office etiquette. Due to the leading questions in our coursework, I am now able to navigate confidently around our company website, knowing thoroughly whats expected of me
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
I have been provided many opportunities to get involved in extra curricular activities. One that particularly stands out to me is working with BEE mentoring. This involves volunteering in a local secondary school, where I am able to act as a mentor to a child. This has been tremendously beneficial for me in so many ways, and it really is wonderful to see the progress I am able t make with my mentee.

Yes
Why?
The community that Computacenter offers is unmatched. I have never recieved so much support from a team. I know that i can turn around, bump into the first person I see and ask for help, and they will drop whatever they are doing to help. I have never seen so much growth in myself, and this is thanks to Computacenter.
