  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • from communication to IT skills, I've advance so far in such a short amount of time it has been crazy. I've had the opportunity to work outside of my comfort zone which has helped me grow a range of skills necessary for this role. because of the range of tasks i complete i need a range of skills such as presentation skills and personal skills

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • 10/10 - the support from my team and the wider HPE teams is amazing. i truly believe that every member of staff wants me to succeed and this is shown time and time again when working with my colleges. i am always told no question is a silly question which gives me a huge amount of confidence to seek support when needed as i know the team will be more than willing to support.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • the programme HPE have built for new apprentices is second to none. when i first joined our first 3 months was laid out and we knew what we where doing each day. the programme has been great in allowing me to learn the skills needed but also me the flexibility to work with a range of team members in different areas of the HPE channel

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • One of the best things about working as an apprentice at HPE is the amount of support available. i currently have 3 mentors who i have weekly catch up calls with to discuss my progress and i can freely ask any questions i have. these mentors all work in different areas of HPE sales which is great for my development as i have good contacts throughout sales which can come in really handy when working on opportunities

  • 9b. Why?
  • HPE is a fantastic employer who continue to innovate not only the technology we sell but how their employers work and feel. I've never not looked forward to work and i have created some great memories with my college who many of them i can say are my close friends.
