Some excel skills and some organisation skills
I do not enjoy it
During induction it seemed organised to an extent and as weeks went by it honestly seemed very poorly structured and organised. Often struggled to find meaningful work to do, and often have to ask for work which is weird when you are joining a new organisation.
A lot of support available through, buddies and performance managers,
Good level of support if you need it, can ask questions at any time
Currently the two have nothing to do with each other. My day to day role largely involves nothing I'm learning about, perhaps maybe the occasional use of Excel.
Teams try to arrange socials at key moments throughout the year, e.g. drinks, mini golf etc. This is usually only arounf christmas and maybe a few other times in a year. I've heard of football and cricket, however I heard this through a colleague, there isn't much of a push to get information on sports/ events to apprentices.
No
I would recommend a friend to pursue a shorter course, with better perks at a company with a better work culture.
Look at the length of the course, apply to other companies to explore your options and be prepared to be in a role that hasn't got much to do with what you want to do- at least for the first couple of months.
