    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Prepping and organising Apprentice inductions, getting their BPSS documents done. Making sure we have all their required documents. I produced monthly and every three week reports on the Apprentices and their work load where I had to chase if needed. I supported the apprentice communities in their events throughout the year. I made the upskilling process a smooth seamless process.
