Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Project management activities, including tracking budgets and reporting, organising events and much more.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love it, I feel that the responsibility and experience we are given is very valuable, and I don't think apprenticeships would be the same anywhere else.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed many hard and soft skills that I will take into my future roles within the business.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well organised, and we are given a good idea of our apprenticeship scheme plans as soon as we start.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Lots of support is provided regularly both by the business and early careers staff.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Plenty of support is given and regular check ups allow you to raise any queries.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Extremely, as by completing the training you are able to reflect on work you have completed throughout the course and identify strengths and weaknesses to work on.
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 lots of social activities, and you also get to socialise within your placements.
