Supply Planner (Supply Chain Management degree Apprentice) Review

I am a supply Planner, this involves raising purchase orders for customers from suppliers and organising delivery into our depots. This has allowed me to liaise with suppliers, work as part of a team and improve confidence through leading meetings

I have better improved my use of Programmes such as Excel, Power BI. I have improved my communication and confidence through speaking regularly with suppliers and leading meetings with them.

I Really enjoy my day-to-day job as it allows me to communicate with a lot of different people. I find myself having new challenges regularly that I have to overcome and solve which is enjoyable. The University side of my course is engaging, but can be difficult.

The Programme is really well structured. I have a set day once a week for lectures/study and regularly visits to university to have seminars. There is a good work/University balance. The designated day means I know what to expect and do not feel obliged to work over doing my course.

I receive a lot of support from My employer. I have a great relationship with my manager who I can talk to on a regular basis. I then have support from more senior managers. I often have messages from the Emerging talent Team inviting me to events.

I receive a decent amount of support. They have been very supportive when I have needed any additional days for my assignments. They are happy to answer any questions about assignments and work. I have regular meetings from them to make sure that I am okay at work

My Qualification gives me a greater understanding of the world surrounding my job role. I feel as if I have a greater appreciation and better understand the parts to the puzzle, that perhaps when I started I was oblivious to. I have not yet used anything specifically with my job role.

At work there are different Charity events going on. We also have events for Apprentices and can organise and meet up outside of work with a budget for events. I have attended a few professional events towards the start. However, these have perhaps slowed down since

Yes

The company is very friendly and supportive. They offer a competitive wage that better reflects the kind of work that you do. They have lots of opportunities to experience various places in the work place that is insightful.

To be yourself, through all the interviews and onboarding process don't be afraid to be yourself and be confident.
