  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • In General it has been ok , my previous employer were very supportive and took a vested interest in my progress and supported me with time required to get evidence work done . My new employer , did step back and supported me when i needed it . Because i pushed for completion, nestle did have an option of saying no . Thankfully they did not. i accepted that a lot of the work to finish my apprenticeship would need to be done in my own time . I pushed this to be done and my line manager really come through for me to evaluate my evidence and took a real interest in what my apprentice was .
