Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am apart of the London office however placement was virtual this year due to the pandemic, on a day to day basis I am apart of an audit team, testing detailed transactions and speaking to the clients on daily calls with any issues that arise.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have enjoyed my programme as it integrates placements within the 2nd semester of years 2,3 and 4. This is a really good approach and get you used to to what life will be like when we work full time
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have become more knowledgeable and confident this placement especially as everything is virtual, you are expected to speak to the client infront of the whole team which can be daunting at times.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is structured very well
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
We have career coaches which we can speak to with any concerns and our talent manager if we have any issues.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The university are very good at offering support such as mock exams and marked feedback from any pieces we submit
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
As we are doing the ICAEW qualifications whilst at uni, the knowledge we have learned is easily transferable in the workplace, such as the financial accounting reporting exam is key.
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
I have not heard of many sporting activities taking place
