Overview of Role

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

5/5

My role is within the sales department and more specifically the product tendering team. Within this team I work alongside field service, sales managers, in house procurement and third party suppliers. My job begins with receiving a technical traffic drawing which I then price from- this can include any third party equipment, consultancy hours, installation hours, equipment, controller configuration time etc. During this period I may also liase with the customer, asking any clarification questions and confirming deadlines or any other necessary information. From this both the field managers and sales managers agree a proposed margin and I transfer all relevant information into an official offer letter.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

My programme is very enjoyable, the lectures are relevant to my role and have allowed me to enter an unknown field with a great body of knowledge behind me. There is a lot of group work and collaboration within the seminars and this is really enjoyable and a great chance to expand knowledge with other learners.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

One skill that I have majorly developed is my organisation skills- 1working towards deadlines and having sole responsibility of proposed works means time keeping is an absolute essential. I have also developed my communication skills massively- both written and verbal, this is down to communicating with an extensive list of business pillars in house as well as externally.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

My programme is very well structured, I have one full-day remote lecture a month and following this is 2-4 assignments which I usually have 1-2 weeks to complete. I am fully supported by my team during this time.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

My employer offers great support within the apprenticeship. They are very happy to designate time for my assignments as well as help to brainstorm or read through any essays or other work I have competed for my apprenticeship. I also have bi-monthly apprentice catch ups with the emerging talent heads as well as other apprentices in my company.

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

5/5

After every lecture there is an opportunity to ask any questions, every assignment is spoken through thoroughly. I also have monthly 1-1s with my tutor as well as 6-weekly meetings with a learning progress advisor.

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

5/5

The main factor which has aided my performance is the sheer body of knowledge I have gained from my qualification. Additionally to this, assignments have helped to improve my time keeping as well as written English.

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

Yunex does have a sports team, aside from this there is in house networking events and a culture of social inclusivity.
