Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Logging invoices, sending out for approval, chasing for approval, preparing for payment of invoices, bank reconciliations, logging payments
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I have found the programme to be somewhat unengaging and, at times, lacking in clear progression or long-term development opportunities.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have not significantly developed new skills during the programme, and opportunities to build on existing skills have been limited. While I did gain some knowledge, I have not found it to be particularly applicable or transferable to my day-to-day work

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme was fairly well organised overall, and I found the teachers to be supportive and helpful. However, there were some periods of uncertainty regarding what was happening and what was expected.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
receive a good level of support from my employer throughout the programme.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a fairly good level of support from my training provider while working towards my qualifications, consistent with the support outlined in the programme’s organisation and structure.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I do not feel that the qualification has contributed to improving my performance in my current role, as my responsibilities are now largely unrelated to the subject of the programme.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are a few extra-curricular activities available, including occasional social events throughout the year, quarterly town halls held outside of work, and a Christmas party.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Ventrolla to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend Ventrolla to a friend, as it is a positive place to work with supportive colleagues and, at times, a strong sense of a family environment. However, I would note that it may not be the best option for financial progression, as it does not follow a typical structured pay review system with regular increases to keep pace with inflation.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Ventrolla?
I would advise anyone applying to Ventrolla to come in with a positive attitude, be willing to work hard, and get involved with the team. It’s also important to build good relationships with colleagues and enjoy the environment, as having a good sense of humour and being approachable can go a long way.
