  • My role is a business administrator consists of daily tasks such as leasing with clients of the LAAN (London apprenticeship ambassador network) and adding information to our business plan. We would set up meetings to external clients and create a fortnightly newsletter with that information. and the projects we would get involved in would promoting apprenticeships through that

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • the tasks that i complete allow me to work on my independence skills as i work on my own projects. my daily interactions helped me with communication skills with those external and internally. and the responsibility has allowed me to work both on those skills mentioned at once which is amazing.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I get a lot of support from my employer they were very understanding that i was a new apprentice and they gradually gave me information so I didn't feel overwhelmed while learning in my new role. i would ask for constant task which could be worked on but my role requires me to do a lot of independent work.
