  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role is debt objections, it's highly regulated, but also complicated. To put simply, it is to do with customers who have prepayment meters and we object to them leaving to go another supplier because they still owe us money.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • When I finish I will have gained the Customer Service level 2 qualification. This will further develop my customer service skills should I decide to carry on any further in this industry. My confidence here wasn't very good, but I've learnt not to be shy and just ask questions, another skill I have developed more on is my computer skills, despite passing IT in school it has been super helpful here and I know the little tips and tricks for next time.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The structure of the programme is very straight forward, we start with an induction. Training as well as support is given throughout the whole course. If we had problems or disputing something we would refer to our apprenticeship manager. Studying at first will sound a little daunting, however, there should be no need to worry as you're given enough time and your employer will make sure your studies are prioritised.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Support here is non-stop. Managers, colleague and lead advisors are always on hand to help. We also have a site call Ask? and that's also just as helpful.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Day-to-day it's bad, in my personal opinion. I am able to contribute to living costs and save up for activities outside of work. Travel costs to work can be a little expensive though, but there are ways to save up!

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • Yes, of course. It fits around perfectly with the shifts I do at E.ON. When I'm not working, I'm learning to fly at the local airfield.
