Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I learnt and developed on my existing knowledge and experience using Python, this is especially important when working within Powershell, Cloudshell or the Command Line Interface. I have also learnt new skills in IT Service Management, understanding the relationship between organisations and consumers/suppliers in the co-creation of value.

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

My qualification (DevOps Engineer Level 4) will enable me to better understand and manage services in Azure. This will help me to be a better contribution to my team as I can work alongside the Engineers to manage cloud infrastructure.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

HR set up social activities for networking with the other apprentices within the company. There are also training sessions for us to develop our professional skills.
