Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Putting together powerpoints and other documents to support meetings, checking data to see if it matches other documents, getting dates from people to check when parts will be received.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
Sometimes the work is enjoyable and I enjoy doing it, however other times it is repetitive.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
I have developed good communication skills and have gained more of an ability to talk to new people. I have also learnt more about how to use the IT and the processes the company use.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It seems they know what they’re doing and that is reflected on the things they ask of us.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
A lot, if I ever need something I know there are multiple people I can ask.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
I feel like we could receive more help from the lecturers. They don’t explain things well and many of the tasks they set for us are unhelpful and confusing.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I haven’t been able to link the two just yet but that’s only because we haven’t done enough modules to do so yet.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
No
