Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Since I started my apprenticeship, I have gained so much more confidence than what I had in school. I have also gained my English Functional Skills, which opens so many doors for me for the future and this has also helped me a lot.
I have found that by going straight into work after school, rather than going to college has given me so many more opportunities and chances to do more stuff.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my job as an apprentice. It has given me the chance to meet new people/friends within the business, speak to new people everyday, and go straight in to work instead of avoiding it and going to college first.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have gained so much more confidence. I have also gained my English Functional Skills PASS grade.

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Really well organised. We have catch ups with our Learning & Development coaches every month to see how we're getting on and to see our growth. We also have meetings with our managers every month to also track our progress and to be able to see if there's anything which needs to have been improved and anything we can do to help us improve for future bookings.

The training which we do helps me a lot when I come back to branch, as it helps me with all of the knowledge I need to know. For example, my geography knowledge, my steps to selling knowledge, etc.
