Business Administration Apprentice Review

I am a Business Administration Apprentice, my daily duties include managing stock control, sourcing of materials, processing and creating orders to meet stock demand. I email and use the telephone to contact suppliers, engineers and fellow colleagues for clarification of orders/requirements, material information and to check delivery dates.

So far during my apprenticeship I have developed my communication and confidence as I communicate with people on a daily basis on the telephone and in person. I have been on courses including Excel Training and Health and Safety which has increase my knowledge in these areas. I have also learnt how to use computer systems including SAP and improved my computer skills as I use this on a daily basis.

I work with a small team who are all helpful, friendly and welcoming. I have my own responsibilties within our team and I like how everyday is different. I am able to learn and develop new skills from the work I do which also helps to complete my coursework.

I feel valued by Egger as they have given me my own responsiblities within my department. I have regular meetings with my manager to review my progress, They have also put me on several courses in different areas to help my increase my knowledge and understanding of my job and the business.

My program is very organised as at the beginning I had an induction week where we were able to increase our knowledge and understanding of the different areas of the business and how it works. We also were introduced to our individual departments. I have a meeting with my training provider once a month, I think the coursework structure/deadlines for this could be clearer.

I have a meeting with my training provider once a month however, I am able to email or call if I need to. At our meetings once a month we meet to go through the units in my course and to set new work to complete. They also provide training in specific areas if needed. However, I think that the structure of the course could be better and clearer and the meetings with the training provider could be more often.

I recieve alot of support from my employer, I have no hesitation to ask questions if i am unsure, need help or don't understand something as everyone is very helpful and understanding. They also have many training courses in different areas to help to increase knowledge in the area and to give you a better understanding.

I think that my Salary is very good and I do not have any issues with it. My Salary allows me to pay my bills, my living costs and the maintance and fuel for my car and after these costs it still leaves me with a good amount of money left over.

The company offers many different opportunities including the sports and social club which organise trips to the theatre, races, summer events and many other opportunities which are advertised to employees. The company also take part in charity fundraising, active workplace games, and if an employees take part in a running events they will sponsor them.

Yes

I would recommend Egger to a friend as it is a great company to work for and you feel valued as part of the team. Everyone is very helpful and welcoming and they offer a great apprenticeship program in different areas not just business administration. They provide training and opportunities within the company to help employees progress, build their knowledge and learn.

Advice I would give others applying to Egger is to research the company and the job role to ensure that it is something you are intrested in and will enjoy. Ensure that you get someone to look over your CV/Coverletter to check it, ask for advise and practice interview questions as this can be helpful for interviews.
