Business Operations Apprentice Review

I am a business operations administrator. my daily tasks vary and I work on a lot of different projects. some days I am be in meetings helping to plan events and other days I may be at my desk doing more admin work such as completing and filing different emails

Yes, I have been on a variety of training course to build on my existing skills as well as teach me new valuable life long skills. some of the training courses I have been on include the insights personality training course that was very useful and taught me a lot about myself and how to interact with others

I really enjoy my programme. work doesn't feel like work as I enjoy the tasks I complete and have a great, supportive and friendly team. My experience at Pfizer has made me a better person and allowed me to work in an environment in which I can achieve my full potential

Generally, my programmed is well structured. from Pfizer, the employers side - they provide me with everything I need and more, supporting my learning and development. Cogent do a good job at managing the programme and supporting our growth as learners. The only downside is that my education provider 'GK Apprenticeships' have caused some issues in the programme

A lot. As stated Pfizer have fully supported me from start to finish without a bad experience. they have signed me up to various paid training courses to increase my skills and develop me personally and professionally. I am very happy I picked an apprenticeship at Pfizer as opposed to anywhere else

Inconsistent amounts of support have been provided from my training provider. sometimes they have been very helpful and supported me with my learning, however there have been numerous times when they have not and this has made it hard to progress in my course. I would say this is the only area in which I have not received the support that I would of expected

A lot of the work that I complete in role correlates directly to my course and as a result of this allows me to complete my coursework by speaking about tasks and projects that I have been involved with. the qualification is well respected and I will be happy once I have achieved it

Yes, there are a variety of additional activities that colleagues can participate in. For example, we have a running track, football clubs, a gym and many other activities that colleagues can join in on. In addition to this there are courses such as being a STEM ambassador and volunteering that colleagues can do

Yes

I would recommend Pfizer to a friend because my experience here has been so enjoyable and valuable. I have gained years of experience at a highly reputable company whilst really enjoying my time and developing skills that I will use for the rest of my life. I have met so many great people and wouldn't work elsewhere given the option

Be yourself and do the research into the company that will give you an advantage over other people applying for your role. it is important to be motivated and passionate. Be proactive and sociable as this is the best way to take advantage of the opportunity and show off your skills and personality
