Apprentice Content and Learning Specialist Review

I am essentially an assistant editor so I check through content to make sure it is correct and there are no errors, I also communicate with suppliers and give feedback to authors.

I have learned to communicate in a more effective way and have developed my knowledge about publishing, specifically educational publishing. This is my first corporate role so I am learning more and more everyday.

I think the program is very interesting and I have gained a lot of knowledge through it. My skills coach is experienced in publishing and is good at helping when I am struggling.

The program is very well structured, we have a plan to follow for the whole year and regular meetings to make sure we are staying on top of our work.

My manager is very good at getting me information that I need for my apprenticeship and getting me in touch with people that are useful to speak to. I always get my apprenticeship time every week and my team are very good at making sure I have time for this.

We have monthly group sessions where we do presentations and discuss things we have learnt. We also have monthly sessions with our skills coach so overall I feel very supported through the course. My skills coach replies very promptly when I message her outside of our meetings too.

I think it has mostly given me a good enough base knowledge to know what questions to ask and what skills I need to develop on more for my role. Without my apprenticeship the time it took me to get to grips with the role would have been longer.

There are monthly socials at the office which I always go to but I am not sure if there are any other activities.

Yes

All of the people are lovely and I enjoy the work I am doing most of the time.

Show enthusiasm and say how you would like to see the future of resources develop.
