Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work in a project management team in a shared service working for multiple clients. My role consists on managing the financials for the clients reviewing time and expenses before proceeding to invoice. I also manage the status of new pieces of work we have secured with the client making sure they are progressed through the correct stages before they get singed.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have enjoyed the programme over the last 3 years a lot. I have learned so much as an apprentice whilst studying and in the workplace. It has given me valuable experience to help my growth as a man and in a professional way. I hope for this to continue after the apprenticeship.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes i have learned many new skills while working in this role. I work with many key stakeholders on a day to day basis so my communication skills are improving. I also work with complex excel documents so my skills around robotics and improving automated processes have improved within the last year.
Structure and Support

The structure of the split between study and work is good, however the organisation at newcastle college wasnt as good as i expected upon arrival in my first year.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

I received a lot of help from accenture during the course of the apprenticeship. The help from the apprentice lead and line managers really helped me through it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I received a lot of help in my years of study, although studying online was more difficult due to covid, lecturers were still available to help when needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
In my particular role, only a couple of modules help me with this as im currently in a non technical role at accenture.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are many extra curricular activities to take part in such as quiz nights, virtual exercise classes and gatherings
