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

I have learnt how to have professional discussions with my tutor which has helped me to gain confidence in my role. I have learnt how to accept feedback and reflect on my work. I am doing my Maths qualification alongside and my maths skills have definitely imroved.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I love it. I don't want it to end! I have learnt so much and it feeds the curiosity I have to learn more and will be sad for it to come to an end.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well structured. I learn in monthly modules of various HR related subjects on training sessions with people outside of my organisation. My tutor and the other leads are always very well organised and they are really knowledgeable and supportive. They explain everything well and the training is delivered and organised well.

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

My Manger is so supportive and I have regular 121's and she takes part in my reviews with my Tutor. If I am finding the work load challenging or volume of work, my Manager helps me to reduce any stress I might be feeling and checks in on me often. She is amazing!

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

I receive loads of support from my Tutor. We have regular 121's and reviews and she will email me often. I know she is available for support should I need it. My Tutor is very approachable, understanding and helpful.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Without the help and support from everyone at MBKB, I would not be able to be where I am now and be a more knowledgeable, confident person. Thank you MBKB!

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are extra-curricular activities but I don't regularly take part. I have attended a quiz last year which was a fundraising event for our charity partner which was really fun.

9a. Would you recommend WTW to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

WTW has allowed me to upskill and support my personal development by doing my apprenticeship and maths qualification. I receive loads of support from my colleagues and manager. I think it is fantastic for an employer to support colleagues in this way.
