Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very well structured. Foundation Managers (Early Professional Managers) are supportive, knowledgeable and always go the extra mile.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Support is good - access to healthcare and lots of Business Resource Groups (BRGs) to build your network.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My employer is also my education provider so completing my qualifications/learning plan has been straightforward as my Foundation Manager ensured that I hit all KSBs through our monthly catch ups.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Same as above. If I am struggling in my hit KSBs in my role, my Task Manager can meet my Foundation Manager to outline expectations of my apprenticeship.
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, lots of BRGs - Book Club, EP Embrace and FND Females.
