Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Gathering and transferring data, scheduling meetings and arranging events and supporting the team with administrative duties.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I thoroughly enjoy my programme. I have been given interesting and challenging projects to work on, as well as my own responsibilities to manage. The webinars through my learning provider have been engaging and comprehensive.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, writing emails regularly and scheduling meetings has helped me to develop my communication and organisation skills further. Balancing studying with work and meeting deadlines has improved my time management skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It has been very well organised. I have clear lines of support and the expectations and deadlines have always been made clear to me. I often attend sessions which outline the next stage of the apprenticeship and I have regular catch up meetings where I can ask any questions that I may have.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I feel highly supported in my role. I have a line manager who I have weekly catch ups with and regular communication. I have scheme specialists who I can go to for any questions that I may have about the apprenticeship and I have regular catch up meetings with them and my cohort. I have a coach from my learning provider and there is a strong support network of previous apprentices.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
They are very supportive. I receive feedback quickly and I attend regular meetings with my coach to catch up - my line manager attends some of these. If I email them a question, they respond promptly and I know where to access extra support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I think that the qualification is useful and relevant to my role. It gives me context to the work that I do and helps me to understand the processes within the organisation and how I can support them. The assignments allow me to reflect on my learnings and work out where I need to be improving.
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 multiple networks at the BBC that host events and provide support sessions. There is even an apprentice community. The team that I work within invite me to relevant networking events. The scheme specialists also hold events for apprentices that will be beneficial for our development.
