Business Professional Apprentice Review

In total, the programme is 3 years. In the first year, we do 3 x 4 month placements in different business areas, to build our network and skillset, whilst studying a level 3 in general business administration. During this year day to day roles may consist of assisting and shadowing colleagues, running our own projects and learning about the business area. In the 2nd and 3rd year, we do a long term, 2 year placement where we stay in the same team throughout, and study a qualification relevant to that area. I'm in one of our content teams, studying towards a level 3 in Content Creation. My day to day roles consist of supporting and managing video and photo shoots and creating my own content for Internal Comms, PR and Social Media.

I have learnt several different skills, from time management when organising mine and my teams diary to building relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

I really enjoy the programme as I get to learn skills I never would have if I were at university for example. I get to work with some great, incredibly talented people and teams who I can learn from.

The programme is very well organised. Regular contact with the apprenticeship team manager during our short term placements, keeps us in the loop and aware of next placements, where we need to improve and what we are great at.

We receive a good amount of support from our employer. From dedicated time to complete our off the job study work to internal training opportunities.

We have regular skills coach meetings, and online seminars. They have built at atmosphere where we can be comfortable to question and ask for any support at any time.

I feel that it really helps me. It gives me the technical knowledge needed to perform in my role.

There are some good options. We have great opportunities to complete fundraising events for our charity Flying Start. There are sports teams and each department regularly have team socials.
