7.5/10

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

I am currently working on the roll out of the localisation of the new Rexona website. This includes prioritising our top 10 markets, creating/ gathering content, creating QR codes for the packs leading to the website and raising POs to pay the agencies that we are currently working with.

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

Yes- my confidence has definitely grown and I now understand the process involved in digital.

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have really enjoyed this programme so far. I love the company culture, the teams have been really lovely and supportive. The work is interesting, enjoyable and I can see where I have made progress.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It could be organised better in terms of making it easier for our line managers to link our work to uni modules. From a Unilever perspective it is well organised but from an LSBU perspective it is very unorganised. They have adapted well to online learning but the induction and enrollment was very stressful.

6/10

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

I am very happy with the amount of support from my employer. I talk to my line manager daily and my other team members have made themselves available if I need them.

10/10

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

They do hold 1-2-1's at the end of the semester to help with coursework which is really helpful.

7/10

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

I think it gives us the general theory behind the action we take in our role.

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 was pre-covid. There are some online at the moment but they're not as effective/ enjoyable.

6/10

9a. Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Great levels of support. Great experience/ environment. You will be surrounded by a group of diverse people who are very knowledgable.

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

Don't ever be afraid to ask questions. Use the people around you, make friends with the other apprentices.
