Best Apprenticeship Employer

6.9/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Mostly admin side of things, responding to emails and solving invoice problems. However with time I will be given more responsibility in heading up projects.

7/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

My computer skills have improved and I am far more organised now. Along with this I have become more confident when talking to people as well as in virtual meetings and when writing emails.

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the work aspect of it, tho that is mainly down to the team and environment. The open uni course is not very good.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Not great, the help is there its just a case of trying to find it which can take time.

6/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I fair amount I just need to ask for it, we do have mentors we can go to which is good.

7/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I fair amount I just need to ask for it, but I do not always get a good response, that can be difficult.

6/10

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

I think it links as well as it could given the fact that work is quite different to the academic study.

6/10

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.)

Yes there are many, I do not take part in them but lots on offer.

8/10

9a. Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

The uni course that you do with the apprenticeship is ok, but that is the same with most apprenticeships. What is different is the company. They are flexible with working from home, accommodating to any needs, all very friendly people.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Unilever?

Do your research on them, come prepared with questions about there environmental and social aspect. Come across as confident.
