Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Recruitment Specialist in Zenopa's Service Engineering team, specialising in identifying and engaging candidates from graduate to senior engineer levels.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my programme and it has definitely reassured me that a degree apprenticeship is the best route for a leaver.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
As a recruiter, you build highly transferable skills such as communication, active listening, negotiation, and relationship management. You also develop time management, problem-solving, and adaptability which is critical in fast-paced environments.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is very organised with 4 days of working and 1 day of university.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from zenopa, through their ladder structure, team culture and especially the mentoring programme. You are assigned a mentor from the day you start at Zenopa to support university and workplace progression
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a good foundational level of support when in university, but a lack of support from the university through email
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel that things I am learning in University can be applied to my role on a daily basis and it is easy to see how the course will support my professional growth
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
There are loads of extra-curricular activities at work to get involved with including incentives, company awards, team dinners, events like tough mudder and fun runs's and other sports clubs to get involved with

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Zenopa to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I think as an option straight out of school it is exactly what most people are looking for. There is loads of opportunity for professional growth and you also come out with a degree and no debt. Alongside the family like culture, I would definitely recommend Zenopa
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Zenopa?
Focus more on your soft skills and learn things about Zenopa/the markets they work in. They are looking for potential and attitude to learning rather than just experience.
