Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I organise work experience placements for students who are still in education, liaise with schools and career leads to organise and attend career fairs and school events to speak about apprenticeships, T- levels and work experience.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
It is a very enjoyable programme, the assignments that have to be completed are manageable. Starting with a business admin apprenticeship has opened up so many doors for progress!
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
This apprenticeship has helped build on my confidence, communication skills and organisation skills. It has also helped me learn so many things about different IT systems.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It has been very well organised with how I have been given all my work and assignments. It has a good structure, I am given continuous advice, help and work.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I have been given constant support from my manager, and the rest of my team. I am more than happy to ask for support from any of them
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My training provider pushes me to do the absolute best I can at all times, and they are always there if I do need any support,
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
When I have my training days, we often cover topics that can help our progress within our working environment and then that information can be applied when in the office/ working.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are lots of Networks that are offered within the council so you can find groups who may be going through the same thing/ share similar experiences
