Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I would help on different transformation projects, lead on data quality projects and run and action reports for HC system access.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I really enjoyed my programme, my team were all so welcoming and helpful and I was able to experience many different parts of my team. I would have enjoyed my placement more if I was able to have wider experience outside of my team within the HC department however unfortunately COVID stopped any chance of this happening.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes I definitely have. This was my first office job so I greatly developed my business communication, organisation and overall confidence. I also developed my technology skills which I needed to use on a day to day basis to be more efficient.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Unfortunately during my placement there were multiple restructures within my team therefore the initial structure of the placement was not followed which limited my experience.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I received amazing support from my employer. My Career Coach was always on hand for any questions that I had and the rest of my team were always so supportive and helpful.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I was not working towards qualifications.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I was not working towards qualifications.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes there are lots of extra-curricular activities to get involved in. I personally got involved in netball.
