Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As a team leader my work days are very varied and exciting. I am responsible for delivering good customer service and visual merchandising. I also provide on the job training, coaching and upskilling to all new and existing associates. I am also responsible for duty managing and working alongside the management team to carry out all day to day store activities.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I massively enjoy the programme. Getting to learn about all of the areas of retail, in depth, while also gaining a qualification has been very enjoyable for me. Getting to collaborate with people from all different retailers and experiences has helped me to broaden my mindset and to brainstorm new ideas

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I feel like I have come very far in my development while completing this programme. My confidence has grown massively, and I especially feel more competent in handling customer complaints and dissatisfaction. My legal issues module helped me to understand the law fully to ensure we are compliant with all consumer laws and to better train staff.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is very well structured. Having each module separated with in person and zoom classes has been very easy to follow along. The workplace tasks and assignments for each module also help to solidify the information I have learnt and to put it into practise.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has been tremendously supportive. I have been assigned a workplace mentor who goes above and beyond in assisting me through our various check ins and meetings. The district manager and my own store management team have also been very supportive in ensuring I have time to attend classes, do assignments and complete workplace tasks, and are always there to assist when needed
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider, skillnet, has been very supportive throughout the apprenticeship. We were assigned a classroom rep who consistently checks in with all apprentices and sends us relevant information that we need to know. All of the module coordinators have also been incredibly helpful, with additional zoom meetings when necessary and are always available for extra help when needed
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Getting to learn about retail in more depth has helped me to perform better and carry out my role as a team leader to the best of my ability. I feel like I bring more ideas to work and I am confident it will help me to progress within my company
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
We do have the chance to attend training days led by the company. This is a great opportunity for networking as we get to meet people from other store teams that we may not already know.
