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

    • I have developed existing soft skills such as my communication skills, as I am able to effectively convey ideas and collaborate with team members, I have also developed my problem solving abilities as I have had to adress challenges and find quick solutions for some projects.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I have enjoyed the programme so far, and have had lots of opportunities to develop within the performance marketing space. However, I would like to progress further and be given more opportunities in other areas of digital marketing

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The programme is well organised with lots of opportunities and support for new apprentices. However I was slightly disappointed that my cohort didnt get to rotate teams after the 18 month point, therefore I felt I have lost the opportunity to network, try new areas of digital marketing.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I receive lots of support from my employer, I have a weekly 1:1 catch up with my line manager, he is always there to support me if I face an issue in a project or I don't understand something. There are lots of upskilling workshops and opportunities
