I had the experience of having a rotation where I was able to have 8 months in different departments.
I got to work in Collections, Operations, Customer Service, Customer Accounting, Finance - Bank and Cash and Reporting. I got to experience the whole business and see everything from different perspectives and gain broader knowledge of the business.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My tutor was amazing and supported me when I needed extra help.
The provider was heavily involved and in communication with my line managers as well as apprentice manager.

The task at the end of my qualification was to improve a process and prove that it works. The support I had in the business from this was amazing. The company have now used my process improvement to this day.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Siemens?
If you are an early career I'd recommend you come here on an early careers programme as the skill set I had when I joined has tripled and I wouldn't have been able to have to chance.
