My role involves analysing retailer data and identifying the gaps that we have and where we can do better. So far I have used Excel and Power BI to create workbooks and PBI reports. Most of my interaction is within my own team but is sometimes with other markets.
As an apprentice I have developed my Excel skills, as before now I had a very basic understanding of it. I have also gained the ability to use Power BI as well as the ability to use SQL within business apps.
I enjoy the programme a lot, though I wish I was given projects a bit sooner.
The programme is very well structured and I know exactly when everything is going to take place.
I receive a lot of support from my employer and my manager attends meetings with the apprenticeship provider in order to better identify how I can improve.
I have semi-regular meetings with my coach from my training provider who is very very supportive.
My qualification has helped enhance my current skills in order to provide much better work.
There are networking events between apprentices as well as socials within the teams sometimes. I have also seen advertisements for yoga, sports teams etc.

It is a great environment and encourages you to consider a purpose when working.
Be yourself, and keep in mind that Unilever is very sustainably minded.
