Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role works around three different teams, project management, business process excellence and central operations. This is part of a transition and transformation business unit which aims to drive change in the business. I do placements in each team before choosing which one I will work in at the end of my apprenticeship.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love it, there is a good balance between flexibility and structure. As apprentices we have the ability to move around the business when apprentice roles come out if we choose to and always have opportunities to get involved in the more exciting parts of the business too.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learned so many new skills. I have learned so much about working in the industry and how to conduct yourself in a professional environment, I have learned a lot around leadership and people management and also gained a lot of skills around operational management.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well organised, the structure is quite loose to allow us to develop in our own way and along a pathway that suits us as individuals which I think is a great strength to the programme
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support is brilliant without being over baring. The apprenticeship manager is always available for support and management are very good with ensuring they are giving us what we need to develop and grow as professionals.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My apprenticeship in particular has lined up perfectly with the modules I am doing at university which has been extremely helpful and there is also always support from additional functions in the business if required.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It helps you to understand the 'why', I find at work I understand the 'how' things are done, but using my university studies I can understand the theory behind it all
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
Yes there are a lot of networking events and also social events including a Womens Empowerment Networking events, Generation Logistics events, football tournaments and Christmas partys.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend CEVA Logistics to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I already do, I spend time talking in schools and colleges about apprenticeships and logistics and I always recommend CEVA as it is like a working family, the atmosphere across the business is always friendly and like we are one big team, even the most senior leaders will always stop for a chat and know most people by first name which is a really nice environment to be in.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to CEVA Logistics?
To embrace the opportunity and don't say no to any opportunity given to you it is all valuable learning.
