Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I work in a team which deals with the preparation of customs documentation as well as shipment information for imports.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I do enjoy my programme, there is much more to learn. I hope to move across multiple teams and continue to develop.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have learnt many skills. Communicating with people from many countries as well as how logistics works as a whole. I have also learnt about how to manage workload and prioritise tasks and communication.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is organized OK, there could be better routes for development such as moving across more teams but overall it is not bad and organized decently.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot of support, they are always ready to help and answer any questions.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive good support from my training provider. They tend to be available for messages and any questions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It does explain logistics as a whole much better and contextualises a lot of the tasks I do. It also explains tasks I don't do and the tasks of teams I am not a part of which helps me to understand their roles much better.
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 are a lot of events monthly and ongoing. A book club, monthly baking events, charity football game, littering pick up teams, voluntary charity work and many other networking events.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Kuehne + Nagel to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Overall, the apprenticeship is quite good and the people who you work with are great. If you work hard, I think you can do well so I would recommend.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Kuehne + Nagel?
I would suggest asking how the apprenticeship is structured/ will relate to your role. Understand that Kuehne and nagel is efficient so there is a lot of teams which can be task specific. So I would advise to ask if you will be given the time to explore different teams.
