Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am an apprentice within the treasury of the bank, I currently work in funding and liquidity which manages the banks a balance sheet and ensures we have enough funding to continue lending to our customers and enough liquidity to pay back any liabilities.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my programme as we rotate every 6 months so we are constantly learning and are never in a role for too long that we find we are not progressing.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have definitely learnt and developed my technical skills such as using excel and problem solving etc, but have also developed skills such as collaboration and presenting.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is fairly well organised, we are the first cohort in our location however things are running smoohtly.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
We receive lots of support, we have a line manager, a cohort manager and an external talent manager from our training provider, we are provided with oppertunities to learn and develop and are supported along the way.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
We receive lots of support and have regular meetings as we have to complete coursework and progress reviews in order to achieve our qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think my qualification will help me understand the technical skills of the whole industry rather than just my role in particular but it can help me understand the current financial environment which can then be implemented into my role.
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
I am currently on the events team at work which organises the events for my floor and is great for networking also.
