I thoroughly enjoy my programme. L'Oreal heavily invest in emerging talent and commit to our progression. Despite being in a junior position, I have access to senior members of my department. There are plenty of opportunities to progress beyond the apprenticeship, including opportunities to work abroad. Our growth is fully supported and encouraged

The programme is highly structured and well organised. It is very clear what is expected of us once joining and we are soon put in touch with current apprentices to help guide us and introduce us to the company. We attend emerging talent conferences, informing us of our opportunities etc.

I receive a high level of support from L'Oreal. We have plenty of opportunity to ask questions relating to our role/ our opportunities. My team is very supportive and have been key in my growth and have guided me through any problems I have faces. My line manager is also very committed to my progression

My tutors are very helpful and offer opportunities for questions to be asked / support to be given. I enjoy studying at Pearson and I enjoy the teaching style of my tutors. They have a helpful attitude towards supporting me and fellow students. They are accessible via multiple platforms and are keen to help.

My studying has aided my day to day role in my apprenticeship such as stakeholder management. In a general sense, balancing work and studying has challenged my time management which has helped develop this skill set. I have not yet learned anything specific to HR but as allowed insight into business principles

There are both social events and committees (I am part of the Diversity and Inclusion committee). We often have social events after hours, either craft making, or games night etc. There are also social events specifically for apprentices (each year we are given a budget to spend on social events).

Yes

L'Oreal is committed to learning, as we attend multiple learning conferences per week, on many different topics (diversity, motherhood, entrepreneurship). L'Oreal is committed to educating its employees on a diverse range of topics and offer us resources to educate ourselves. We can also complete courses to help with future employment

You should focus on L'oreal's values as a company because it is just as important to align with their values as it is to have the correct experience. I would make sure you have examples of when you have showcased their values, and what impact that has had
