R&D Apprentice Review

I work as a R&D apprentice. This involves testing Unilever products and chemicals to make sure they are safe for manufacturers, customers and consumers. I also work with Unilever deodorants on any upcoming products.

-Time Management, accountability, organisational skills, business acumen, analytical skills, leadership & teamwork, presentation & public speaking.

I enjoy learning the skills that my program teaches me, as they can be applied outside of my work.

Unilever ensures its employees are happy, investing a lot in wellbeing. I.e. Free headspace/many work perks

It has been patchy over the years, but I always know who to turn to if I have an issue.

University is very good at keeping in contact, flexible due to distance.

Unilever is committed to ensuring I am supported both physically and mentally. I have a buddy, a mentor and a line manager looking out for me.

Factoring in paying for a degree, it is a very good deal.

Location wise, its a bit quiet. But the work community is quite nice.

Yes

They care for their employees above the norm. Leadership seem committed to sustainability and global impact goals.

-Be yourself, prepare to work hard, don't be afraid of failure.
