Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Currently I'm deployed in the risk renewal team. My job is to renew contracts for current PwC Clients, I have to go over contracts with Engagement Managers and action any feedback.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
So far I am really enjoying my time at Pwc. I have met loads of great friends through the programme and have realised personal points for approval.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
The main skill that I am learning to develop is my time management skill as balancing my full time job alongside completing my degree can be overwhelming.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
So far the programme is very structured from a work side of things. However the Uni course that comes along with it is lacking useful information that helps us within our job roles.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My support within the Firm has been sensational, since joining the firm I have been appointed a team leader, a career coach and a buddy. All of which have been very welcoming and are easily approached. Also everyone within my team is happy to help with any problems.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
So far Ulster has been hit or miss on support to the students completing the programme. Certain Lecturers are really accommodating to the students and it comes across as they really care for us. On the other hand some of the lecturers come across as if they don't care or have time for us.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
This isn't the best to be honest as the degree and you role at PwC don't really align.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Pwc is excellent for this, they have events on every week and there is many different ways to network and meet new people.
