Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
80/20 split, with the latter being learning, the 80% is focused on on-the-job exposure and software dev tasks that slowly ramp as I learn.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Vodafone really cares about you as an individual and is generally inclusive. The course provider however is a little bit disorganised.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Team work, leadership, C#, SQL, HTML, CSS, JS
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It's decent, you get exposure to everything you need, and much more which can be overwhelming.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Outstanding, I have all the help and support I need, with everyone going out of the way to ensure I'm settling in okay.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Depending on the tutor responses may take a while, but they do the best the can.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The theory is decent, but the brunt of the learning is done on the job.
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
Dozens, from coffee nights, to feel good days aimed at catching up with selfcare.
