  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am the onboarding support apprentice. So I complete daily reports that get sent to the board. These are very important to the business as it monitors how many learners we are taking on. Also, I just generally support the onboarding team with anything they need help with in order for the business to succeed.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes! I have definitely learnt and developed new skills. I am a lot more confident with excel and talking to people on the phone which I did find extremely nerve racking. I have developed so much knowledge around business and what it takes to be successful. Which I am loving.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I feel like my programme is very well organised. I have regular 121s with my manger to track my progress and check how im doing which I think is very important in the work place. As well as regular 121s with my manger I meet up with my trainer once a month to check coursework and give feedback.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Similar to above, I have regular meetings with my trainer who checks my recent sessions and how ive done. If there is any improvements needed I will get that feedback. My trainer then explains very well the next session and what needs to be done for me to get the best possible result.

  • I am doing Business Admin Level 3 which is an advanced apprenticeship. My role isn't the easiest, with my coursework I can refer to certain situations so i can use it towards that. My course motivates me to do well in my job role.

  • 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.)
  • Yes. There is many. Badminton,netball and also a mud course! I think extra-curricular activites are very important as these can be very good team builders. We do have days where the whole business meets up and we do a workshop to talk about the business changes etc . Also we do celebrate for peoples birthday and holidays during the year such as Christmas.
