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

My role is 'Attractions & Communications'. On a daily basis I will put together slides for meetings, Approve travel requests, Receive and send emails on things such as University visits and Volunteering etc and also put together a weekly newsletter on upcoming events and experiences on ones that have already taken place. Between all of this there will be meetings I attend and take minutes for aswell as sharing the minutes, slides and sometimes recordings onto a sharepoint for all to see

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy coming to work everyday whether it be because of my team, the company culture or the work I am doing. I always saw myself in an office based job as a child so now to be doing this motivates me to do well.

4. How valued do you feel by Hewlett Packard Enterprise?

Even being a few weeks into my apprenticeship scheme in HPE, I always felt valued. The managers make you want to exceed and give you a level of responsibility which feels good. As an apprentice visiting universities and schools it is an amazing experience because it shows that you have done well and they want everybody to see that.

10/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

As I started later than the other apprentices in my scheme, my induction was much shorter. However I do feel it was as informative as the others. Everything has been no problem so far, our task load has increased over time and I feel we get enough support and OTJ training for us to be happy
