  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I feel that the ‘apprenticeship’ program is quite difficult to follow and seems very complicated as we are only required to include ‘new’ learning. I think the program needs to be altered in it’s entirety.

    • See above.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • I don’t think the qualification is relevant and I feel it doesn’t reflect my work.

    2/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • None that I am aware of.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Co-op to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • I like working for the Co-op however I feel that the apprenticeship program is extremely poor, not well thought out and totally irrelevant. Perhaps it’s just a tick box exercise to pacify a government department?

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Co-op?

    • I am not experienced enough to proffer advice but I would inform potential employees that working for the Co-op is great.
