Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
initially the beginning stage there was a lack of direction during the onboarding process from the company, however a few months in i felt like i began to get better opportunities to learn and expand my expierence
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
id say that the programme has been enjoyable as it has allowed me to meet and collaborate with new people in a professional setting. however i feel that compared to other apprenticeship schemes i have missed out on networking experiences/events
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
i have learnt a multitude of new skills during my time at MUFG, these include work base skills as well as transferable behavioural based skills. however at times exposure to chances to learn new skills was slow or not carried out the best way it could of been
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
id like to say that at times the organisation of the programme has been lackluster and is more of a going with the motion type of feel. there have been instances in which plans and structures have been carried out and worked though
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
id say for the most part the support is there if needed
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
given some time to revise but not always consistent or set out due to workload , however if there is time available you are mostly free to allocate that time to studies. but if there isnt any then you may find yourself catching up at home
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
so far the majority of the content which i have learnt does not relate to my role and is not relevant to my day to day duties
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
mostly at the main branch
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend MUFG to a friend?
Yes
Why?
is a large comapny so there is an oppurtunity to learn from not only the jbo aspect but those around you
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to MUFG?
to make sure you allocate your own personal time to break away from the working environment and be open to any networking opportunities or chances to learn new skills which may arise
