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

It varies from rotation, we switch between supply chain, marketing, sales and CDT and rotate every 9 months until the final year where you specialise in a sector that you feel fit you best and is most appropriate. My job role in sales involves Excel and Admin as well as selling and networking

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I massively enjoy my apprenticeship there is tons and tons of support available and it’s an amazing workplace the benefits of a degree apprenticeship outweigh anything else. I couldn’t have been happy with my choice between university and an apprenticeship. It helps to develop all sorts of skills

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well structured I know what each person does and what who I need to go to for each problem/ issue. Each module is posted before we learn about it in order for us to view the structure of the lessons and do prework if we want to. It is clear what direction we are going in for the future

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

They prioritise the apprenticeship over work and want us to succeed in the apprenticeship as much as they want us to succeed in work. So time and support is given for when assignments are due or we have uni work to do/ catch up on. Coventry isn’t very involved in the apprenticeship however it balances out with our tutors
