5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

So much, it is about understanding what you want and need and how to leverage that with your work, I cannot fault bp's support though, it is always there when I have asked for it which is the main thing!

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

You have to be very self driven on an apprenticeship as it is up to you to keep yourself on track. I have struggled at times, but if you push for support you do get it eventually.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I think it supports my understanding about why we do what we do, I am glad I have my degree, but having the practical application of the learning along side my role is what is most beneficial.

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.)

Definitely - there are so many, and as someone who moved away from home for my apprenticeship it was a massive help for me to gain new friendships and a support system around me while I started this new journey. I have learnt lots from all of my extra curricula activities which have helped me within work as well.

9a. Would you recommend BP to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It is a super friendly place to work, and as an apprentice the support is second to none. I think the apprentices are what makes the apprenticeship amazing, bp sets us up for success and helps us to thrive, and support one another in this great community we have created whilst thriving at work!

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