  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role within Lloyds Banking Group is in Marketing. I work mainly on the Halifax brand on Digital Marketing Posters, soon I will be moving to the Mortgages team. I am challenged daily with new tasks to broaden my knowledge. Day to day work includes communicating with stakeholders through various communication channels, using Lloyds specific programmes for producing my work and collecting evidence to complete my apprenticeship. But no day is the same.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • As we all work on different areas the workload is very open so we have to structure our work specifically around our own workload. I get a lot of help from my linre manager with this though. Colleagues are always happy to give me time if I need to ask them a question or focus more on the college side of the apprenticeship rather than the work side.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • More now. At first we didn't recieve much support. This is an ongoing battle. I believe this is because this is the first time this course has been run and everyone is still trying to find the best way to make it work.
