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

I am responsible for E.ON's early careers and school strategy. I look after the Graduate and Degree Apprenticeship schemes in particular and look at how we can support young people into employment through apprenticeships. I regularly speak with internal and external networks and through the use of our stories share what it's like to either work at E.ON or complete a scheme or apprenticeship here at E.ON.

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

I have learnt a number of things and developed so many skills during my time of employment here at E.ON. This has helped me to understand which apprenticeship qualification I wanted to do. I'm also able to now map over my course modules and align to projects and experience in the business

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

Lots! My manager, team and mentors are very supportive.
