Company: DHL
Role: Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship
Meg was looking to strike a balance between continuing her studies, and getting hands-on experience in the workplace. Having initially planned doing English at University, she changed tack when she realised that a logistics degree apprenticeship with the DHL renewals excellence team would offer her the combination she wanted.
“My line manager Kelly is extremely supportive and together we try to align my studies to my practice, so that it becomes more relevant. I’m studying for a business management degree and I’ve found modules like economics and leadership really useful in the workplace.”
Her role is all about driving efficiencies across the DHL network, but for Meg the best bit is the support she gets from those she works with.
“I’m getting a degree I’m interested in, workplace experience and a good wage at the same time. And on top of that I get to work with a team that are incredible and have done nothing but support me since the day I started.
“I feel like DHL is really invested in young people.”
