9/10

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

I am currently an apprentice team secretary. I look at the system and keep up with work flow from the accountants. I also make sure that everyone post gets to them. I also will eventually get to look after stakeholders of the company

10/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I will be getting a level 3 in business administration once this apprenticeship has finished. I have been on some internal training courses which allows me to develop my secretarial skills. I have been able to develop skills such as communication skills as I have to make sure that everything I have done is communicated to the person who sent over the work

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy this programme as I feel like I fit well in the team and the team gels well together to help each other finish jobs. I also really enjoy doing the work. the company is also very good at hosting events which are sometimes organised by secretaries. the company meets my expectations very well as I have learnt a lot.
