Within my role, I manage the sales office team to ensure they carry out all day to day tasks. My role means that I organise all the supplier support for the branch, sort all the account terms, organise credits and invoice queries and do general day to day sales.
My apprenticeship allowed me to learn more about time management and taught me about what my skills are and what I can do to improve the way I manage my team
I thoroughly loved my programme and found it to be a nice break from my day to day role. Parts of it were challenging, but overcoming this helped me be a better person in my role.
Our programme was started pre-COVID so when COVID hit, the programme was changed over to being done on google hangouts. The programme was still fantastic and despite the changes, ran very smoothly.
My employer was great, we were allocated as much time as we needed to complete the work and I was given opportunities to try out different areas that I wouldn't normally do as part of my additional learning.
Leap allocate a mentor to each person. My mentor was amazing, she was always on hand to help with any questions I had or even just to listen to me have a meltdown if I was stressed, she was utterly fantastic!!!
I feel that the skills I learnt are all transferrable and I have been able to use them to better myself and my team. I was able to feed back my learning to my team to provide them with extra skills.
Unfortunately, we don't have any extra-curricular activities but this is definitely something we could get involved with.
Yes
Its a fantastic company to work with with plenty of benefits and great people to work with. They are huge supporters of women in the workplace and all staff are treating with the utmost respect.
DO IT!
