Yes constantly learning
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Great support from team and university but I think organisation of course rotations and communication from the future career team needs improving.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Great support from Line manager and team
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Great support- always there to help
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I would say job role doesn't directly correlate to the course but learnings from both help and support each other so both are positive.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
No extra curricular- think unilever could do more to get apprentices' involved who are not based in the London offices.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend Unilever due to supportive team and management, and amazing work place experiences working with different stakeholders. Treated like an employee/ key part of the team rather than an apprentice.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Unilever?
Have an idea on what function of the business you want to enter before applying, and start learning key skills for this area prior to joining.
