Marketing Programmes Co-ordinator Review

My current job title is Marketing Programmes Co-ordinator. I run reports and analyse data whilst also working with the field team and visiting retailers. I have different projects that I work on including PCP deals on different car models and competitor comparison. I work with a range of people including undergraduates, managers, senior managers and directors all within the workplace, retailers and area and district managers in the field.

Working just a year, I have already gained an NVQ Level 3 in Business and Administration, interview training, excel training, powerpoint training, apprentice ambassador training to name just a few. I have developed hugely in confidence and am continually developing analytical, numeracy and comminication skills.

I really enjoy my programme as I get to do a job I enjoy, supported by experienced professionals. Everyone in the workplace is very friendly and willing to help.

I do feel valued by Vauxhall as I am recognised for my hard work and contributions. I am able to work on big projects with senior management and have even been goven an award for my work.

My programme is strucured. I was given a full induction when I started and got to learn everything I needed to know and more about the business. I am given training for things I not only need to do, but anything I would like to do. Everyone is allocated a mentor who they can go through any concerns with as well as a HR advisor and an Adecco representative. College learning is set out with set days of learning and studying.

I receive good support from college. I have one to one meetings with my tutor to track progress and bring up any concerns I may have. I also receive support from my other course tutors and can speak to them about anything very easily.

My employer supports me a lot. I have a line-manager who is my first point of call. I also have a mentor who works in another area of the business, impartial to any concerns I may have. I have a HR advisor I can also talk to, all of which are accessible of support easily and willingly.

My salary meets my living costs at the minute, although if I were to choose to move out of my parents home I would struggle. My travel costs are met as I only live a few minutes drive away from my workplace. Working for Vauxhall, I also receive discount on new Vauxhall cars.

There are lots of opportunities to get involved in things e.g. sports activities and company events. Vauxhall have introduced Corporate Social Responsibility, where they allow all employees one day paid leave to help out in the local community, I got to go and help out at a horse centre which was really fun

Yes

I think it is such a good opportunity to gain real life valuable skills which can be transferred into any job role. You gain so much invaluable experience and get to work with real professionals.

I would really research the organisation and be really prepared for an assessment centre or interview. Be ready to learn a lot and work hard.
