Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role involves working with the data within JIRA and finding different ways to interpret the data that I have access to.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my programme as I enjoy the work that i've been given and the trust that has been placed in me to complete it. Also the team that I am placed in is very supportive and friendly.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I've learned some SQL and i've expanded my knowledge of visual basic and skills within excel.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I would say it is loosely structured but personally I enjoy that as I feel like even as an apprentice I am treated as a member of the team who is responsible to get their assigned work done.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have an overwhelming amount of support available to me either from my manager, my colleagues or from other sources within the company.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I feel that I receive an adequate amount of support from my training provider when I am on training courses and when we meet up to sort out the required documents.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The first course that I was on I felt it wasn't entirely relevant to my role but the second one definitely was and I can see myself using these skills that I learned.
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
The bank offers the unique opportunity to get involved in volunteering for causes and these are able to be done up to three days a year.
