Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Learning new skills to help with the new job I had.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Stressful but good to be doing different other than the day to day job. Coach made everything interesting.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Lots of management tools and skills
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Organised in month but it should be organised by task.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
No hours given to complete from Whitbread to do your apprenticeship so the balance of doing your work whilst your on shift can be a struggle. My manager was great as she has had to do this too. 10 star for the manager 0 star for Whitbread.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Steve was fantastic. Always at the other end of an email or phone. We did our meetings in person which was so much better for my way of learning.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It is helpful.
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
No
