Network Planner Review

Each Day I log on to my computer and start to plan the jobs that I have either been assigned by my manager or pick up through our task queue. I am currently planning connectivity jobs for our Core network which is a challenging yet exciting role . In order to do the I have to organise the information I get each day and log onto various systems to help me plan the job.

Yes, since starting here I feel like my confidence and people skills have got much better , I think this id due to the wide range of people you meet through BT as well as the different events you can get involved in as an apprentice. I think BT is a great place to learn new skills.

I enjoy this programme as its thrown me out of my comfort zone for the better and have given me a good head start to my future career. Because we do rotations it means that we are always learning new roles and new ways of working which makes the job enjoyable.

I think the programme is organised we had a two week induction where we were introduced to the way in which BT does things , and it has been easy rotating each 6 month around Planning. I know who to go to if I have problems with my apprenticeship and my roles are well structured.

I receive support in the form of my apprentice coach and manager . If I was struggling at work or needed any help I can speak to them. I know that I have the HR site to go to if im having any problems in the work place or need someone to speak to.

We studied at Yarnfield under stoke on trent college this meant that we had people around us that could help and support us whilst we did our work. My coaches at Yarnfield were very helpful and made sure that we were all improving and passing our assignments. This helped us all achieve our qualifications.

I think our qualification gave us more background knowledge of Networking as I had never learnt about IT networking in school it really helped me in my role. We left about the Uk's Network as a whole and now I can relate this back to my job role and how I help to improve our network.

Since starting at BT I have been involved in lots of events. I have gone to help out at the BT studio, I have been to talks in the BT auditorium and have had the opportunity to network with lots of different people. I am always keen to get involved with BT's events.

Yes

As I have really enjoyed my apprenticeship at BT so far , have learnt a lot and made new friends. As well BT has so many different areas that you can get involved with so you can really explore what is you would like to do and build your future career.

To make the most of the events and extra things you can do whilst doing your day job. Bt provides many extra qualifications that you can do alongside your work so make the most of the. Also network with people outside of your team as its good to make contacts and understand different job roles.
