Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves data input, providing updates to wider business functions, working on projects and data analysis. I attend lots of meetings and work alongside other business functions to produce data used by my department.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I thoroughly enjoyed the programme and enjoyed working at Cummins and really liked my colleagues and people I work with. I didn't enjoy college so much as a lot of it was online during the pandemic.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt lots of new skills including use of packages such as Word and Excel, along with learning how to use programs such as Oracle and Lexus Nexus. I have developed my communication skills and general business knowledge.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Work were very organised with the programme, however I did not find the college to be so organised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I received a lot of support from my employer throughout, they were very good in giving me time to work through my college work alongside my normal workload.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
In my first year I did not have a very good tutor and I really struggled, however in the second year I had a much better tutor who was much more supportive.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think that my qualification did add to my role and my confidence, however wasn't very relative to my daily tasks.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
I do not get involved in extra curricular activities but these are available if people are interested.
