I love almost all of it, occasionally a stubborn error will annoy me but 90% of the time I enjoy my time at work

9/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very, I always know what I need to do to stay on target and if I have any questions I can email my Learning Mentor at Firebrand and they will get back to me with the answers

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

Quite a bit. My line manager is always able to help, and my colleagues are always willing to assist or answer any questions I may have too

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

Plenty. I have a monthly meeting with my learning mentor where we discuss any problems I am having and I can email him at any time with other questions I have about my apprenticeship work

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

Quite a bit, it helps to fill in the gaps in my knowledge and to build the steps to success a lot quicker than just being thrown in the deep end so to speak.

10/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are, since starting 6 months ago I have gone to multiple networking events, either with my team or with the other apprentices in the Ipswich office

9a. Would you recommend WTW to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Because it is a great company to work for. The culture is very supportive and inclusive and I don't regret choosing to work here one bit

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to WTW?

Sell yourself as best you can. The openings here are quite competitive, especially apprenticeships, because it is such a good company to work for with a competitive salary and benefits.
