Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role is being a Project Manager as well as performing activities such as audits for the company's ERP system. The projects I am involved in are based around business system and digital change.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am thoroughly enjoying the programme because I can see how it is benefitting me in my job and I am learning new things in each webinar.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes I have learnt and developed many skills such as presenting, communicating and digital skills such as the use of new Microsoft apps (e.g. Excel and Visio).
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very well organised, we are provided with a timeline for each lesson over the course of the entire apprenticeship as well as a study pack at the start of each block.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a huge amount of support from my manager because we catch up everyday - he sets me tasks and he lets me lead on project meetings each week.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
So far I have had feedback on the delivery of my presentation which was very helpful however I'm not far enough into my apprenticeship to receive support for the exams yet.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel that it greatly helps me because every lesson that I attend can be applied to my job 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.)
4/5
I am a part of an Early Careers Programme from VolkerWessels where I go down once every few months and attend lessons given by apprenticeship people which are great experiences.
