Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am a full-time university student so during term-time I just operate as any other university student. Over the summer, I work 10 week placements for PwC. On my recent placement, it was mostly focussed on learning the skills I need for my future placements.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I thoroughly enjoy my programme - I have the benefits of getting to live normal university life during the term whilst then getting the experience of working during my summer.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Learnt new skills such as using applications such as PowerBI and Alteryx.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well-organised, I've had no issues with the structure of my programme.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
All the support I need
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Again, as much support as I need - if I ask, it's there. Support is always offered through a multitude of channels.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I think my qualification will be massively helpful in my role as it will help me learn the skills I need to succeed.
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
There are plenty of extra-curricular activities and social events that cater to everyone.
