Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
1/5
My role is to analyse data and contribute to sprints on building the data platform. On a day-to-day I have only been attending meetings and am yet to complete tasks where I support my team
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
At first I found enjoyment when learning new things, however there has been a lack of support from NatWest and I am now not currently learning anything new and it has taken a toll on my deadlines for the apprenticeship
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
I have learnt skills in Excel, Power BI and SQL, however other systems/languages such as Python and R, I have learnt in theory but am still yet to use within the business
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
There is no organisation or structure within the business when delegating tasks that will support me in completing my course. No manager, no work to do, no one creating time to teach me new skills
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
I originally received support from my first team and it was great, but since moving to my team in January, there has been no support from my team or a manager. I have had to complain on multiple occasions so that I can meet my deadlines
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training providers have been super supportive and have allowed me the room to complete tasks as they have been delayed due to issues within the workplace
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Yes, a lot of the learning from my course can be used on a day-to-day basis
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
Yes there is
