Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I oversee the company's sustainability programme including reporting and monitoring our environmental performance and working with our suppliers to reduce our Scope 3 emissions. I collate information on our social value programme, Community Paintbrush, and monitor the effectiveness of these initiatives. I provide sustainability training to colleagues and support our teams with tender questions.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
It has been very enjoyable so far and the plan looks very interesting and engaging.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Even at the start of the apprenticeship programme, I have already begun to develop key skills required for a sustainability professional, including personal leadership. The programme is designed to allow for work-based skills to be developed alongside the course elements to develop my key skills and knowledge.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It is really structured and organised so that I know what I am studying and when right up until the completion of the EPA. The days off-the-job are well organised so it is clear what the objectives of each session are in order to prepare for module assessments and completing the apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I couldn't ask for more - from applying and registering with the apprenticeship, to preparing for the residential right through to the support offered ahead of the modules, Bagnalls have been brilliant.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The tutors and course directors at Cranfield University have been excellent at providing support and materials to ensure that the apprenticeship programme is as stress-free as possible to enable me to work towards the qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The course has been structured by industry professionals and is accredited by IEMA with lots of opportunity throughout the course to apply the learning directly to the job role and therefore help to develop my own ability in my role.
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
Bagnalls encourages me to get involved in professional networking events both locally and nationally. There are a range of social activities arranged throughout the year to make employees feel valued and part of the family.
