Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
my day to day activities include, ensuring that any email corrospondance that has been sent to myself has been answerd. Hosting daily stand ups with a team of developers to ensure that the day is planned for and everyone knows the ask. I consult with my peers to complete all that is asked from me each day.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the programme very much, the added experence that working for a large company such as accenture allows myself the felxability to work where I am most needed and where I fell I belong the most . this ensures that I get a positive experence while I gain skills daily.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
the programe on the side of work is great, there is pleanty of paitnence among my peers who go to great lenghts to ensure I can manage with the work. however the university has much to be desired. many cases of teachers leaving mid modual and an overall lack of structure is clear.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
within the realm of work, I can get as much experence as humany possible. there is always people to ask for help and asking is regularly encouraged by everyone. if someone has a skillset they are always willing to share this knowlage with anyone who will listen, this is a great place to gain skills.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
the Univercity needs addressing, there is a large dissconnect between any corrospondance with us and the univercity. Convosations involving our future go on without our knowlage. that given there is a huge lack of people that could teach the degree so I adknowlage they are doing the best they can however more could be done.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
My day to day provides exponentially more then my qualification. there is little to no crossover between the two. the course often contains tech that is very outdatad and methods that have long since been replaced. I would say that is dosent help me proform my role and needs rethinking in order to do so.
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
As my base of operations is in the north east there is little to no sport teams or events that are offered. however this can be related to the pandemic that closed down any such activities. there are many networking events however where you can meet people much furhter along paths then you to gain usefull insight.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Accenture is a great place to work, there is little that could could want to progress towards that accenture could not assist in. they have such a large portfoloi of clients that you can try your hand at every aspect of buisness. from programming to consulting all inhouse and with expert peers.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Accenture?
1 person that can work incredbly well, but cannot funciton in a team is much less valued then a person who can work less well but can work very well within a team. I would improve on teamskills, communication and the ability to deliver in person and virtual. furthermore, remember to be genuine.
