Business Change Apprentice Review

My role is a business change apprentice which involves working in the business change team. I am responsible for the design of vidoes, emails, internal comms and animations to go out to the department. I use equipment such as powtoons, camtasia and bananatag to create innovative videos and emails. I am also part of monthly sessions within the department and run them.

I was always creative, ever since my A levels i studied art so always had an innvovative side. Working in this role has allowed me to develop my creative skills to a new level, being digitally and through videos but even through text when sending out a comms. I have also built my confidence being in this role by running sessions and putting me out of my comfort zone.

I really enjoy it, i enjoy the apprenticeship side and the new skills im building. I like how flexible the apprenticeship work is, there is a lot of responsibility on me to complete the work but i always do it on time and to the best standard. I definitely think apprenticeships are the best way forward.

It is really organised, it is set up really well and the apprentice advisors are always there to support me. I have regular sessions every month with my apprentice advisor in which he always asks how i am and if im understanding everything, I also have monthly meetings with my manager and a tutor to review how my progress is getting on and if there is any support i need as i reach my end point assessment.

I recieve amazing support from my employer, the team is an amazing team to work for and they're all so supportive and there for me if i need anything. My manager is always checking up on me to see how i am and offering extra support if necessary. I have never felt unsupported.

I always feel supported by my apprentice group. They're all there for me and help me whenever i need it. The other apprentices have regular meetings and we all chat about how we're getting on and they're all there for me which is so nice to see. The tutors and reviewers are also really supportive.

I feel that my qualification supports me when it comes to sending comms through text. The comms are really easy to send now because of the support i have been given from my training provider. It tells me how to change my wording to match certain audiences and to use certain language.

There are foundation days within the business which i can get involved in and they're all different kinds of things like supporting charities, supporting local businesses and supporting the homeless. That isnt specific to my apprenticeship but its in my role and i have to do twenty fie hours a year to pass the foundation days level.

Yes

Its a relly good company to work for, they offer a lot of support and have amazing opportunities to progress up the ladder to be in higher and better roles. They have really good benefits and so much support is there. They're always looking for new innovative things and their apprenticeship program is good.

Be yourself when being interviewed and provide a lot of examples around your background. Also do research around the company so you know who they are prior to the interview and dont be nervous because sage is a really good company to work for and you will make a lot of friends.
