Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As part of my roll I supported the recruitment officers. I checked daily who needed connect calls/outcome calls. I supported on extra projects, such as the team who organised fun activities for the team to keep moral high in lockdown.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have really enjoyed it. It was definitely challenging working virtually and not being able to meet the team. However, there were many positives and it helped improved my technological skills and forced me to learn how to keep myself focused.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, as this was my first working experience I have learnt better communication skills between different levels of seniority.
I have developed my presenting skills to large audiences.
I have learnt different software functions and how they work and most effective ways to work.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It is well structured and there is always things to do and improve upon.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
LOTS! There is always someone there to talk to. You have a buddy from the start who you can chat to about personal or professional issues, or just chat.
You also have a career coach who helps you develop yourself professionally.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I didn't work towards a qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Didn't have a qualification
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
Loads! It was difficult with the pandemic to get involved as they weren't always being run. However, there were plenty of groups to chat with and get involved in and they pushed to make sure you felt included.
