1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I work in Learning and development so on any given day I may be facilitating training, coaching individuals or teams, designing learning solutions, communicating our L&D offering or connecting with the business to understand their needs.

10/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Completing the apprenticeship has supported me in stepping up to a more senior role. It’s encouraged me to be more strategic in my thinking and consider how I partner with the business and my stakeholders to make a difference.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The L7 apprenticeship has been challenging in a good way! It can be hard to balance with the day job, but the support from Nestle and from my Line Manager has been fantastic!

There wasn’t a lot of support at the start but 5 months in and now I have a mentor through my training provider who I connect with regularly, a live class for each module and a team I can go to with queries.
