Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5
I am a human resources apprentice, I do different rotations every two months to get a grasp of the wider People function. Depending on the rotation my day looks very different, I also am working towards a Level 3 CIPD qualification which I take one study day a week for.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
I enjoy the programme as it allows me to experience a lot of different sides of the People team, while also working towards a valuable qualification.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
I have learnt many different skills throughout my apprenticeship, this comes through me completing several different rotations. For example I did an People Services rotation where I learnt a lot of the organisations procedures and policies and supported with admin tasks.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5
Very well structured, it allows me to get a wide experience of different sub sections of the people team. Well planned where I know where I will be going and when. With clear objectives that allow me to develop

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
A lot, I have regular check ins with both my line manager and who I am in rotation with, I have no doubt if I did have any concerns/issues I would be supported by both the people and organisation.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5
A lot, every 3 weeks I attend a workshop where my coursework is discussed and made clear what is expected of me. I also have access to a wide range of materials to help me with my assignments

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5
The training has been helpful in both the task I have to complete as often we will discuss something I am yet to have done, but also it allows me to reflect on what I have done so far and potential areas for development. It's also helpful to see what my cohort are working 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
Yes, there are a lot of sports teams, activities etc, I do not attend any but I know they exist and are easily accessed.
