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

My role is to be based across multiple Asda depots learning the overall operation over the length of my apprenticeship. Some roles include: Managing warehouse colleagues, processing stock and systems, shadowing other managers, allocating stock to stores.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed leadership skills as well as boosting my confidence in socialising and managing other people
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
There are moments that require alot of independent intervention in order for myself to get the best out of my role so that could be improved.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive an adequate amount of support from my employer and I feel I can freely speak and receive advice from them in whatever I made need support with.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My university provided me with an sufficient amount of support with my academics in order for me to learn what I need to.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel I get a better understanding of the system from a technical standpoint from my training provider as they are able to give me an advanced education on these complex areas.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There aren't many opportunities in my depot to engage in outside of work. There are raffles and other small seasonal activities as well as charity events but there may been some room for improvement there.
