Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

Rotation based scheme in which I move around different parts of the business. Currently, I work as a operational analyst and my role involves attending standups, doing data analysis as well as helping the roadmap team out.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I enjoy my programme quite alot as it provides a challenge but does not allow me to be overworked.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have so far improved my skills in all Microsoft products specifically Excel and also in Confluence and Jira and through my future rotations I will learn about Qlik, SQL and Python

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

It is relatively well-structured programme however as my area is agile based it is heavily dependant on projects and therefore can be quiet times when a project is not ongoing and more work towards a sprint/project end

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

The support I recieve from my employer is very good. I have weekly 121 with both my manager and mentor as well as monthly meetings with my wider business mentor. I always feel like my thoughts and concerns are heard.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

I receive good level of support from QA as we have meetings every few weeks to discuss my progress. I have also been assigned a skills coach to help me further my abilities.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

I believe it will be helpful as the concepts I'm learning, I apply to my role daily and ask questions to my colleagues.

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

We have regular team socials for both my team and wider team as well as quarterly get togethers in person which are very good. We also have the bright futures aspect where we meet other apprentices/graduates and network with them
