Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

Monitor and ensure network is performing as it should. Work on continuous process improvement

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I enjoy working within the team I am currently in. It is filled with fantastic people. University is ok, I get through it. It is a good opportunity for myself and will help my career path

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I knew nothing about networking before I started at Vodafone so all those skills have been learned through the apprenticeship. I have also developed many other skills like communication, organization and professionalism.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

2/5

Level 4 was absolutely shocking, I wouldn't rate it. The degree program is better

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

As long as I ask, they will always try to help

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

1/5

Average, they never really seem to have an answer for any questions

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

2/5

There is not much in my degree program i can relate to my team, but skills learned in Level 4 were a lot more useful

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

2/5

Not at the moment with the pandemic. However there are opportunities to set these things up and there are networking events (when there isn't a pandemic)
