Business admin Review

I manage peoples diaries and set up meetings for them and make sure their diary is kept up to date. I also do travel bookings which include train and hotel bookings. I deal with people from inside my company by booking rooms and setting up meetings for them. I'm responsible for managing my time, mangers times and also my colleagues as I help them with day to day tasks.

I've developed a lot of skills such as my IT skills and my communication skills. I also think that my listening and team working skills have got better due to this apprenticeship as I really enjoy working in a team. My confidence has definitely got better and I enjoy meeting new people.

I love this programme as It allows me to learn on the job whilst also making a wage and this to me has made my life so much better because I know I will come out of my apprenticeship with a qualification which will then allow me to better myself within my working career.

I think this programme is well organised and well thought out because my assessor gets to come out every so often to see how I am doing within my work place and if I have any problems I am able to talk about them. Its very well structured as they've even thought about the college days which allows me time to get my NVQ done.

I receive a lot of support from my employer as I am always pushed to do better and she's always helping me with new tasks and she encourages me to try new things. I think with having such a supportive employer it makes you want to work and want to better things/ try new things.

My training provider gives me so much support, even though I don't get to see her as much as my employer I know I can email or call her if I need any advice or help with anything to do with my apprenticeship and I think by having such a good support system it makes me work to the best of my ability because I know if I need help it will be there.

I believe by doing the qualification it helps me to understand my role better and by learning I can then put this into practice which I can then build upon. New skills I learn through out my qualification which can help within business admin as it makes my more skilled to do new tasks and/or new jobs.

There are Apprenticeship weeks in which I am hoping to take part in this year. During this week sellafield apprentices are to get into groups and take part in doing something whether it be making things to sell, building something to raise money etc and at the end all the money raised goes to charity and so I think this is is a great way to get young people involved with charity and team work.

Yes

I just think sellafield is such a great company to work for due to the support you get, the friendships you make, the things you can get involved in (charity work) and they have such a great apprentice scheme as they are allowing people like me to gain skills which will set me up for life.

I would tell them to go for it and be confident and be willing to try new things as it makes your knowledge better and even though it might be out of your comfort zone I've found that by trying new things you learn about yourself and this is the best way to adapt yourself to working.
