Business Administration Apprentice Review

Saving job packs and uploading them to job flow Saving measure sheets and mobile returns, also uploading them to job flow Using systems such as IFS Inputting date onto spreadsheets Assisting my colleagues Scanning and saving paperwork Attending meetings Chasing up engineers for payment Logging holidays for staff and operatives

The main thing I've noticed is myself getting better at is Excel as prior to this apprenticeship I only knew the basics but now I have a wider knowledge of the different ways Excel can be used and it is now a tool I use in my daily life.

There's certain tasks that are more enjoyable than others but I think that is a whole part of beginning work, meaning that it's beneficial to understand not everything you do for your job is enjoyable and that it is okay for you to like certain things than others.

I would say highly organised, I've been here 1 month coming up and I already have my own tasks to do on a daily basis. There is also frequent training that I'm given but it's always time efficient and when both me and my manager are available.

A great amount, my manager is constantly checking up on me and making sure I know what I'm doing but also she has a genuine interest in my life away from work. I feel like the fact she has an amazing understanding with the work life balance is fab.

I've only recently met my tutor so not much as it stands but I was made aware that I can contact whenever regarding 'off the job' work. Upon meeting she gave me examples and recommended techniques, areas and subjects for me to do working towards my exam next year.

Not much I can identify about how it's impacted my work life as there's not a plan set in stone as yet. I'm hoping that I feel less stressed and be more prompt to actual work tasks by having a day to myself for focusing on coursework.

Due to Covid-19 we have to social distance therefore as of now we're not able to mingle with other departments. I know before I joined the company that everyone would gather in the cafeteria and catch up with each other over lunch. Hopefully that comes back soon with luck.

Yes

Personally so far I've been made to feel like I've worked here for years, everyone is so welcoming. Also as it's a family founded business and is still run by family everyone has the 'work life balance' understanding. I'm glad to be here and would recommend.

Definitely have to be confident as people who you don't know will start having conversations with you like they've known you forever. Not be intimidated by trying new things as this company has a huge range of training courses available for any worker in the company to attend.
