Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Managing emails, attending team meetings, updating projects
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I thoroughly enjoy my programme

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes I have learnt many new skills, particularly in the field of project managing. Additionally I have developed existing skills such as communication and organisational skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Not very well structured if I'm honest!
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Lots of support - everyone is extremely friendly and helpful
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Enough support although they do take more of a hands off approach
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Not overly - the department I sit in is not project management run so a lot of the work I do isn't standard project management work. It is helpful in learning more about project management and has given me better insight for future roles
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
Yes lots of extra-curricular activities you can get involved in!
