Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Currently on 1 of 8 placements, currently I act as a Buyer raising RfQ's and PO's. I will fortnightly go off site in order to visit a supplier.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my programme, initially there were some problems but these were sorted early on (IT Issues, issues specifically on the University's Side), These are mentioned and said to be fixed now
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt a lot of new skills, not only real world business skills but also the engineering side too and understanding the products you are buying.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It wasn't initially very well organised however as the programme has developed it has become structured better and organised better, the communication channels are now a lot clearer than they were at the beginning of the programme.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
There is things that people can access, currently i wouldn't say i receive a lot of support from my employer. however i do know where i can access this support
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The University have been very helpful when it comes to responding to questions however, when it comes to things that should of been sent to everyone they lack in that area, specifically the programmes objectives weren't sent out completed until a few months into the programme
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I would say that the qualification provides negligible help and that you learn the theory from the training provider and you learn how to apply that theory and see the problems with the theory.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Yes.
