Best Apprenticeship Employer

9.2/10

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

My role involves analysing retailer data and identifying the gaps that we have and where we can do better. So far I have used Excel and Power BI to create workbooks and PBI reports. Most of my interaction is within my own team but is sometimes with other markets.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

As an apprentice I have developed my Excel skills, as before now I had a very basic understanding of it. I have also gained the ability to use Power BI as well as the ability to use SQL within business apps.
