4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

My Learning Coach is doing her best as at work I have been going through a lot of recruitment issues then changed site during my apprenticeship and went to a bigger site . but we are doing the most we can do with the scheduled catch up. and she is so understanding as she use to be a manager .

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.)

We have deputy Hotel managers meeting , I got to go to a hotel manager one as my hotel manager was on holiday and she asked me to go instead of her , and it was nice to see how many manager s there are , and good to know other people from the network

9a. Would you recommend Whitbread to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I would reccomend it as It adds value to your day to day working life as it makes it easier having the extra knowledge that you might not have if you are not part of the apprenticeship. and skillsday are the best way to meet other managers and know how they tackle day to day issues we encounter

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

I would advise then to ask other that are doing an aplrenticeship as this will help them grow personally and this will add value and if this will help further their carreer and skillsday and meeting are good to meet other peopke and making new friends amongst our colleagues from other sites that we might not ever met if we did not join in the first place
