Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Community Investment Team, managing BA's charity partnerships, dealing with excess charity baggage and charity event management.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy the job role of the programme. The study work is interesting and helps me learn new skills that are relevant to my role.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt and developed many skills in my role - managing stakeholders, communication, adaptability, confidence and more
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Well organised. I believe the placements could be three 6 month placements and a 1 1/2 year long term placement to allow for more time in each role.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
A lot of support from both the apprenticeship team if needed and especially my managers in the community team and my wider sustainability team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have only just started my new qualification but I have received a lot of support so far and my tutor is always available to contact.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Slightly better as I learn the more technical side of fundraising and from a smaller charity perspective, rather than corporate fundraising. However I believe the day-to-day learning from actually working is the most beneficial thing.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Socials with apprentices, BA football teams, team days.
