Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I work in IT Consultancy, which involves providing technological innovation to transform our client's businesses. This type of work could involve back-end development or business analysis, depending on my role in each project.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my program because it directly aligns with my academic skills, which are mathematical and computational thinking.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt new programming languages at university such as Java, Java Script, HTML and CSS. At work I have learnt about Splunk and Shell Scripts.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The university / educational side of the program is very well structured. The corporate side is also well structured, however project demand decreased due to COVID-19, which made it harder to get enrolled onto a project.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
At Accenture, you receive a Career Councilor, who is responsible for guiding you through your corporate journey and supporting you throughout your projects.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
UEL provides lots of educational support, ranging from emails to tutorial sessions to recap lectures.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The content I learn and the knowledge I gain during my university lectures is very much transferable to my client-facing work at Accenture. My technical ability definitely improves at university, which helps me provide more value on projects.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are lots of extra-curriculum activities to get involved in at Accenture, ranging from different sport societies to join to societies that focus on improving your public speaking.
