Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My day to day work involves analyzing data for our operations and inventory team here at my site focusing on excel and power bi.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I've enjoyed my apprenticeship to a degree, DHL have been very supportive along the way with catch calls and reaching out. QA have been poor, which may of just been down to getting a poor tutor but i expected more outreach from them.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've learnt a lot of valuable skills including excel and power bi 2 things i knew very little about before i started working here and now i am very confident in both programs.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
My programme has been somewhat organized, i feel though as my site doesn't use some of the programs which i learnt in my apprentice ship it's been hard to actually learn these.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer and they are always on hand to help and bi monthly catch up calls have helped during this apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Very limited which may be down to my trainer but now in my EPA i haven't heard my tutor once, when this is the most important stage of my whole apprenticeship.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It gives me a better understanding of data and the many ways i can analyze the data and best show the story im trying to tell.
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
We have data community events which anyone inside the business can go to where you can talk to like - minded people who are interested in data.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend DHL to a friend?
Yes
Why?
They are a good company to work for who care about their employees and are a very forward moving company in terms of DEI and environmental and there's an exciting future here at DHL.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to DHL?
Just be yourself, in my experience the whole process was so friendly and smooth, the interview was so relaxed felt more like a chat with a friend than a job interview.
