Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Provide excellent customer service on POS or on the shop floor. Complete waste and date checks, manage and lead a team
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I do enjoy it however I find it gets a bit repetitive and can lead to lack of motivation
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have learnt and am still learning how to lead my team better. Developing time management
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Lifetime training do provide a structured and well organised programme however, managers at Aldi need to understand how to support their apprentices more instead of expecting the apprentice to know. It’s the blind leading the blind
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I do receive support but it could definitely be improved. They should do more check in and not expect the apprentice to come to them all the time
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from my training provider, they help whenever needed. Currently meet up with my training provider every 2 weeks to ensure I stay on track
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It has helped me gain a better understanding of how to manage a team successfully and understand the different parts in the 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.)
1/5
We do not have any extra curricular activities to get involved in
