Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is very well structured, you are given a 'management trainee scheme' booklet at the very start of your training that outlines what you should know at given checkpoints (I.e. 6 months, 1 year, 2 years). At each of these checkpoints you will have a practical and theoretical tests. Although most of the learning is down to you to learn, you receive a lot of support from everyone in your branch.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Support from everyone from head office down to branch, if you ever need a question answering, someone will be there to provide you with an answer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The college is a separate side of this traineeship. They help guide you towards a recognised qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I am currently undergoing a 'Construction site supervisor' level 4 course in college. This helps me perform better in my role as it helps me to understand the laws and regulations surrounding construction projects. As well as other aspects that reflect onto my job.
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
Every year Bagnalls holds a management trainee conference, in which every management trainee attends a 3 day conference where you learn information and skills. At the end of each night you are taken for a meal.
