I am at the early stages of my apprenticeship and so far I have learned about Discovery Insights and the colour energies, commercial awareness and what this involves, time management, communication and how to communicate with the different colour energies and finance and how what we do as managers has an impact financially.

I have enjoyed the away days on the programme. They have been engaging and it has been really good being able to work with different teams in the business. It has given an insight into how different areas of the business run and how if we work together we can support each other better.

The programme has been structured well although it's been frustrating that some of the away day sessions have been booked in the school holidays which is difficult if you have children. When we have been away at the training days, the days are well organised and the activities are structured well.

I have a lot of help and support from my employer. As my employer also delivers apprenticeships they understand what we need to for the qualification. I have help from my line manager when i need it and I also have a dedicated coach who helps me with what tasks I need to do and my reflective journals

I have a lot of help and support from my training provider as they are also my employer. They understand what we need to for the qualification and provide away days to be away from work and concentrate on the learning. I also have a dedicated coach who helps me with what tasks I need to do and my reflective journals

It's early days but already it's helping me understand how different people work through using the colour energies. talking to people across different teams has helped me to understand how we can try new things that have worked elsewhere in the business but I didn't know about. I think it will help my confidence

As part of my apprenticeship we go to away days in Sheffield that are interactive, we get to stay over and work alongside others. There is a spa and a pool there we can use also. We also have company events at work and they do let us get involved in social values activities if they're in our area.

Yes

I would recommend Realise to a friend as it is a really good place to work. We have behaviours instead of values which develop a really good culture. We are also given opportunities to develop in our careers and learn new things. Our team gets together for wellbeing days to make sure we are all happy at work.

I would say to research the company and make sure you look at Realise's history as well as all of Realise's successes and partners we work with. Also have a look into the behaviours and see if you are the right fit for the Realise culture. It's a great place to work
