Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Sharing compelling investment narrative and product updates with client advisors and high quality management information with senior management regarding business drivers.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
The qualification was very interesting to complete but a number of elements of the programme have felt like they were to simply check a box rather than developing my skillset.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I've gained a new industry qualification which is highly relevant to my current and new role.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Organisation of the programme should be more efficient, I was informed I needed to complete an additional industry qualification shortly before I was due to sit the original one I was meant to be doing as part of the programme which delayed my progression.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Study leave and the opportunity to complete the qualifications and programme were much appreciated.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The support from my tutor has been incredible and she has guided me through all elements of the programme successfully (so far), which should mean it will draw to a close after 3.5 years.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualifications completed have given me a deeper knowledge of the solutions we advise our clients on and has lead to me starting a new role next year.
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
There are various employee networks and other activities that can be completed to develop your wider network as well as opportunities to gain additional knowledge.
