Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My role is in Equity Derivatives Sales; on a day to day, this includes supporting my team with pricing requests and running reports, because I'm not regulated
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the programme to a great extent
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Yes, I've developed my time management and adaptability skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme is still relatively new, and therefore could be better organised/structured, once the management team can implement suggestions from the apprentices.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
A lot
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
We receive support relating to the uni's qualification, however for financial qualifications, it's mostly self study.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
This differs from apprentice to apprentice - for me, the qualification helps as a foundation but isn't as technical as what's required for my role.
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, we've had a couple professional networking events.
