5/5
Uni provides mentors, and has check-ins. Professors are accessible and happy to ask questions. Study support team is available for one-on-one sessions to help with assignments.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Qualification will be required to secure an exit role. I have found so far that my experience at work has helped my uni learning more than the other way round. As I progress through my degree, I think the education will become more in depth and be more helpful to me as an employee.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Unsure - currently everything shut due to Covid
