Business Professional Apprentice Review

My role consists of three different placements. I’m currently on my second rotation. So far I have done Cabin Interior Design and Robotic Process Automation. In this role I complete various business analysis tasks, liaising with employees about processes we want to take forward in the business. These could be to do with making new apps, reforming processes and completing flows.

Yes, I have improved my technological skills greatly. Using many different new programmes to complete various tasks such as Maestro, Visio and PowerApps as well as the whole Office365 suite. My communications have improved also as I am communicating in various ways with people from all over the business, such as email, phone call, Teams.

I am really enjoying my programme. I am given a lot of responsibility but also feel very supported. I am given the opportunity to expand my skills in many different ways. I also enjoy the fact I am on my programme with a cohort of people similar to my age so I feel like I always have someone to ask and talk to.

I believe it is fairly organised, we are given clear deadlines by our training provider and know what is expected of me. I have the support of my ADC as well as my British Airways line manager and placement manager. Workshops are scheduled most months and there is always pre and post workshop tasks to go hand in hand with these.

I receive lots support from all parties involved in my apprenticeship. I can contact my ADC at any time and she is always there if I need to discuss any issues. As my deadlines are clear I always feel on top of my work and if I need help I can always get support.

I think it gives me a sense of direction and something to work towards. It also splits my work life into training and actual work. For this reason I feel like I can get a good balance and the switch between the two is always enjoyable. It encourages me to learn new skills.

Yes there are many charity events we are able to get involved in such as Flying Start. We also make sure as a cohort to host social events which help to improve our friendships. As apprentices we are encouraged to get involved in as much as possible and are usually given these opportunities first.

Yes

It is a great company that is very well known. The working environment is very supportive and friendly and so I always feel happy to come to work. I have lots of friendships with my colleagues and am always given many opportunities to get involved with new things and feel like my working life is quite varied.

Make sure to research things about the company and really think about the reasons you are applying. Making sure you are ready for corporate life is really important as you are definitely treated like an adult. Making sure you are willing to be hard working and organised is vital as you need to be able to balance both the working life and learning side.
