Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Spreadsheets, supporting colleagues, attending meetings.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I feel that whilst there are many opportunities for development, there is a strong lack of feeling valued and unheard.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Met majority of KSBs and improved on skills I had in previous employment.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Relatively. Any lack of organisation tends to come from UoC.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Early Careers are often supportive but sometimes feel any issues are out of their control.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Had numerous concerns with UoC that have gone unaddressed or ignored.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel the course is often too broad and doesn't typically feel relevant within the workplace.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are plenty of STEM opportunities, however they are hard to get involved with due to numbers.
