  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • At Tech Data, a normal day in the sales team would be taking inbound calls, and call out to customers about various different things. Some days you can have Vendor call out days where you can call customers with promotions, which in turn can win you prizes! Some days can vary, especially being an apprentice with a 'Natural Training' session every now and again.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My Program with Tech Data is very well structured, there was quite a bit of classroom training at the beginning of the program but that is very understandable. The Tech Data training has been great, we would have the training scheduled so we knew when the training was. The meeting system we have at Tech Data works very well as well, allowing you to book a meeting room and choose the correct people. Overall, the Tech Data apprenticeship is very organised.
