Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I have an administrative role where I keep records accurate, process payments for private assets & set up new trades.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have loved it so far. I have been given so many opportunities to go beyond the training & go to schools and influence other young people. I love my team & the other apprentices are so friendly.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed every skill I already had, specifically the skills I improve on daily are my communication skills, numerical skills and professional soft skills
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is very structured & organised with well detailed plans of training, exams, targets - for both the studying side & work side of the apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have as much support as I need. If I feel I have a problem, they are they to help solve it, and if I am getting on well, I am given the space to flourish.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We have regular catch ups & they are always just an email away.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It teaches me about the wider sector that I work in. It has meant I have gained a better understanding of my role and where I fit in the world of financial services
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
There are social events. I have joined the social committee and we are planning fun things to bring people back into work and allow fun networking opportunities.

Yes
Why?
It is a well organised, value centered and inclusive environment where I feel I can be myself and also work on improving myself.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to M&G plc?
I would be as honest as possible, reflect your true self & if you're a good fit, then you will be seen. I think you need to see if the company actually fits your morals and preferences, not just if you fit into the company.
