Business Administrator Apprentice Review

In my apprenticeship I have worked between two roles. One is Sales Order Management and the other is Purchase Order Management. In Sales Order Management, I was primarily responsible for creating outstanding order reports for the sales specialist and raising account specific orders. In Purchase Order Management I work in Client and I am responsible for completing a buyers bible report, managing POs and raising DD orders for Client.

From my apprenticeship I have developed multiple new skills since joining. This consists of networking, presenting, time management and paying attention to detail. Since coming to Computacenter, I feel like I have developed a bunch of new skills but the ones in particular have come from teaching from colleagues and just from doing my day to day job.

I enjoy my programme very much. This is because I feel like the programme is very well structured with are employers making sure that we are all very involved in the roles that we are working in. I would recommend Computacenter to anyone I know and if anyone was interested in joining.

The programme is very well structured with are employers making sure that we are all very involved in the roles that we are working in. Towards the start we had a lot of change in my area where are team leader left and we was looking for a new one but it didn't take long to change but the organisation stayed the same keeping the structure that its had from the start.

From my employer I receive all the support that I could wish for. My employer makes sure that I am getting all the support needed from everyone in the business to help with my development. They are also always going to be on my side with everything giving me all the backup I need.

Whenever I have my monthly reviews with my training provider, I am always made aware of the support I can get when I need help. My work coach is approachable and friendly and I feel as if I can ask for help at any moment. If I feel as if I need extra time working on my assignments, my manager would always happily arrange cover for me allowing me to continue working without having to worry about my actual role.

From my training provider I have been learning not just about he business but important skills to help me within my role such as communication and organisation skills. Within the apprenticeship, we learn about things such as business policies, GDPR, legislation, stakeholders and social media which are all helpful for me within my role when considering what I can and cannot post about my work, and how I can communicate with customers so that i am not sharing their personal information and doing my work in a secure way

There are a range of activities that you can get involved in at work. Computacenter have something called freshminds where they run networking events once a month which helps to create new connections between employees at Computacenter. This can involve playing sports, going out for food, going to a bar and all sorts of other activites.

Computacenter is a great company to work for. It is very easy to fit in and feel welcome within the company, and when starting a role there is always a good amount of training given to you in order for you to do your role. The office has a very good atmosphere with people coming in all the time with a great scenery. If you ever need help with anything there is always someone there for you whether its to do with your role, mental health or general help, its nice to know that there will be someone there for you.

Research the job role that you are looking for, have a look at the background of Computacenter as you are likely to be asked what you know about the company in an interview. At the end of your interview, potentially ask a question relating to the role and then relate it to the values of the company.
