Yes helped support with spelling and grammar while completing essays and research papers.

Really enjoyed it, got to know new colleagues across the business within the apprenticeship team and other store managers I find know. Good to learn from others and get feedback along the way. Also able to create new relationships outside the business with being able to ask for support and feedback

Structured enough to get time from the co-op to plan my one day a week work 8 hours to do research and completing essays

A lot, great support to get my hours to complete my training. My personal team was understanding to let me crack on with my work while they were looking after the store

Great support, my “tutor” gave me plenty of support/challenge and feedback. Always available to pick up a call

Understand more about the theory that links up with the practical side of retail. Great to be able to get the time to read and write about retail, rather than just do

Plenty of networking events that include clubs for career growth, etc aspire. No sports team, but that's a great idea. Especially once lock down has come.& gone

Yes

Been with the business for 16 years, been a great company to be for opportunity.
