Having access to an apprenticeship scheme allows our business to hire individuals who will gain experience in specific areas, whilst receiving supporting training from their apprenticeship provider. Each apprenticeship is uniquely tailored to the role that you are hiring for, and the training delivered from the apprenticeship provider, compliments the training provided within the business.

It is also very rewarding as a business to see an apprentice develop their skills and abilities while supporting them on their career journey.

Our first apprentice, Elena Jones, joined our company in September 2021 as a Project Administrator and is studying a Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship.

Elena has been an asset to our business since joining. With her very positive attitude she is eager to learn and will take on any task given to her. Starting with My View Research as an apprentice gives Elena an excellent opportunity to grow and develop with the company, as she is starting from a strong position of learning and understanding all elements involved with our services.

“Honestly, I don’t feel like an apprentice I am just another one of the family. I don’t feel any less valued than any other team member, despite that I am still learning. I feel constantly fully supported not only by my own manager, but others in the business too, even the CEO. Communication is highly valued in this company and I know if I ever need additional help with anything, there is always someone available who will offer advice and guidance. I am proud to be a part of this dynamic and innovative group of people. I hope to be with the company for a long time as it grows and expands. It is really different to anything I have ever been a part of before. I am given training for new skills, included on projects, and time allocated to complete all my additional PETA work. I’m glad I found My View Research.”
