Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
The traineeship was a three week course to work on career development. This is so we would be more prepared for our next step. This was very beneficial for me and it helped me a lot. Over the course of the three weeks, we would join online sessions and learn a new unit everyday. We would fill in worksheets and online tasks which would overview the lesson and ensure we understood everything. The tutors offered much support and helped us to build skills we will need. For example, CV writing, how to prepare for interviews, etc.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I found every session useful and planned well. Each day was productive and i could learn something from every lesson. I enjoyed the entire course and if i could re-consider if i would take another course like this after i definitely would as it has helped me.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt many new skills that will help me in the future. I have learnt how to write and format my CV. I have learnt how to prepare for interviews. I've also reinforced skills such as my IT skills. This traineeship covers all aspects and gives you many skills you can use in any workplace.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Each session was precisely planned and well structured. Especially given current circumstances the sessions were online. However, the tutor still made it comfortable and engaging. It still felt like structured lessons even if it was all online from at home.

5/5
My tutor offered me lots of support and feedback so i could better myself.
