Overview of Role

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

4/5

The first six months with amazon were spent in college, we then went back to site to learn amazon specific skills. The first six months give you a good background knowledge and then you enforce it when at site. You will learn new skills every day and it is always interesting.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I am enjoying a lot, the scope for learning new skills is massive, and the compensation is also really good. You will meet a lot of different but likeminded people from a wide variety of backgrounds with amazon.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

You are constantly learning new skills at amazon, i have learned new and improved on previous skills that i already had. You learn a lot of amazon and warehouse specific skills that help you not only in amazon, but that you can take to the wider world of work in your career.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

This is the one part where amazon lacks slightly, there is a structure in place but it is very site dependent on how strictly this is adhered to. Sometimes it feels like communication is lacking between higher ups.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

Amazon is a very supporting company and will bend over backwards to help your every need, anything that ive needed they will provide. They are also very keen for you to go on courses and further your knowledge base.

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

5/5

The MTC are very good at what they do, being a designated apprentice training site helps them with this, they are always there to help even when you arent at the MTC.

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

5/5

it is vital that you complete your qualification as it provides you with a strong base knowledge to complete your day to day 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.)

5/5

There is always networking event (usually on company card) and they are always supportive of you doing any courses. The MTC organize an annual football game between their Coventry and oxford sites every year, you will never be tired of things to do.
