Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work closely with other members of the team to complete workbooks and obtain and document support from the client to complete the audit.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the balance of work and education and feel extremely supported in all areas. It is sometimes a little difficult working remotely to ask as many questions as I may need; however, this is only occasionally.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have gained a lot of confidence and I'm now able to speak to clients easily. I have developed a more questioning mindset and have improved my problem solving skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I have found the programme very structured which allows me to clearly plan my time and work more efficiently. I also feel everything is communicated well in advance which also helps.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I feel very supported in all aspect through the different roles that EY offers, such as counselors, buddies and apprentice coaches.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
During the time of college and in-between the exam I feel any help is there when I have reached out. If I had any further questions outside of when I had college I wouldn't be too sure on who to approach.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I have been able to relate things that we did in college in my role at work which has been very beneficial and also makes what we learnt in college easier to understand
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are frequent social events held by the Hull office as well as bigger firm wide networking events
