Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Roles vary every year due to rotation around the business. We get to experience every element of the company before coming out of our time.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme a lot, it is exactly what i applied for and what i wanted to do with my career.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed my IT skills with all the different programmes the company uses on a day to day basis. I have also improved my English skills, picking up the language they use throughout the business.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
They balance the university work well with placement work. However sometimes to the university delivery can use a bit of work.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
We have constant access to support. However with the amount of apprentices the higher ups are harder to get a hold of.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We can a lot of support and I do not think we could get much more.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Perfectly. There has been many occasions where the uni knowledge has been projected into my work.
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
As you get closer with the team you are working on you develop the relationship to be part of these. Me in particular, i am part of football after work on some nights as well as occasional extra curricular inside work hours with different tasks
