CMDA apprentice working in PR Review

Working on both the proactive and reactive elements of PR, as well as supporting on going projects and campaigns. I also lead on team finances, admin tasks and aid sub brands such as First Choice and Crystal Ski, with press trips and campaigns. Recently I have begun leading on the reporting and evaluation aspect too.

I have developed my communication and leadership skills massively, as well as my time management and confidence through leading and supporting initiatives and organising events. I’ve found my experience truly beneficial, and can’t wait for what’s to come. I look forward to further developing my resilience and creativity soon.

I have thoroughly my programme from the beginning and the work that I complete on a day to day basis. I have learnt lots of new skills by taking advantage of opportunities which have been presented to me and always completing anything that I do to the best if my ability

The programme has been well structured throughout and tailored to aid our development and allows us to take part in events and work related activities in order to develop our skills and complete any tasks we need to do in order to obtain our level 6 degree in business management

We have received lots of support from our employer since the beginning. I have daily contact with my line manager who is always happy to help me and understands what I need to do in order to develop my skills. At TUI, we also have a dedicated apprenticeship team who are always happy to offer advice and support if needed

After some initial teething issues being enrolled with the university training provider, we have received a good amount of support with our studies, including regular catch up calls with both the relevant team and the lecturers, flexibility on assignment due dates and empathy during illness. They’ve also put on additional support sessions where needed.

The training that I have received from our provider has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and allowed me to further develop my passion for business management. The university provided us a sheet of key skills and behaviours (KSBs) which correspond to daily workplace activities, ultimately aiding my development

I have had the opportunity to attend and even lead on several networking events, ranging from conferences, to evenings in London and new initiatives within the organisation. There are several teams groups, such as the reading club and running club, whereby you can talk to colleagues with similar interests and immerse yourself in new experiences.

Joining TUI has been one of the best decisions of my life. I have developed tremendously so far, and have enjoyed every moment. The culture is fun, and everyone is friendly and wants you to do your best, making it super supportive and a lovely place to be. Would highly recommend

Research the company throughly so you can really show interest and passion, but most of all be yourself. We want to see who you are as a person, what you enjoy, and any ideas to further develop the company. It’s a super supportive and friendly place to be, so really make the most of that within the process.
