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

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

It not only helps consolidate what we learn from our day job but it also has put my previous jobs into perspective. It has allowed me to understand and appreciate my own roll which has helped me improve the quality of my work in my day job

I've had the chance to speak to schools about apprenticeships and speak to the public about apprenticeships at nestle at apprentice open days. My colleagues have also had the chance to meet with partners and go on volunteering days.
