Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I have a variety of daily tasks that mostly involve administration side of things such as handling invoices purchase orders and timesheets, alot of what I do is to support my line manager who I speak to on a daily basis

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I very much enjoy my programme as I feel well supported in my role and has given me a variety of new skills.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have learnt a lot new technical skills for example how to raise an invoice or how to roll over a workbook, and I have developed some skills as well such as determination to get work done on time as well as teamwork and working with others.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

I would say it is well organised particularly the onboarding side of the job as the onboarding process was extremley efficient.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I speak to my line manager on a daily basis where we will discuss any support I need from them for any tasks I have already completed and any tasks that I may be unsure of, therefore I would say I receive a very good amount of support.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

My manager gives me adequate support towards my qualification and lets me have a good amount of time for me to revise for tests and assignments.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

2/5

I would say it is not tailored to my job role that much as I am on the consultancy side of the business and my university is more construction side of the business.

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

There is always different social activities taking place as well as professional networking events particularly amongst other apprentices and the south region as thats where im based.
