Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The Programme is very structured! We have one day of University a week and the rest we are in work as usual.
At the start of the Programme, we has 12 well structured weeks to help us (the Apprentices) get settled in to life at Barclays, this 12 weeks was really useful.

How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
From the very beginning, we have been told that we can always ask questions no matter how silly we think they are, they have made sure we have access to things like Well Being info and support.
At Barclays, there is an endless supply of help that they offer you! The support system is incredible!!

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Our Line Managers are supportive and understanding of how much work we have to do as Degree Apprentices. They make sure we have all the support we need, putting us in touch with people that can help us if we need it. Also, the tutors at Uni are incredible! They are always there to help you if you need it no matter what time it is or whether it is a Uni Holiday
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
In the second year of Uni, you get to choose a pathway. This pathway is supposed to help you in your Job Role. I have chosen the Data Analytics Pathway as this will help me improve in my job rile. I will learn more about Excel, SQL and learn more about Forecasting.
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
Barclays has tones of sports teams!!! It is fair to say that where I work (Radbroke), is just like a university campus because of how much goes on there. They have lots of sports teams and they also have lots of none sports related clubs too!
Unfortunately, because of Covid-19 I haven't been able to join any of these yet as I haven't been to the campus since I started working there but in the future I will defiantly be joining one!
