Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role at the moment consists of taking part in rotations gaining exposure to all parts of Computacenter. We have shadowing opportunities and on the job learning to gain deeper understanding. At the end of the rotations we participate in assessments to reinforce learning and ensure we understand.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
I really enjoy the programme. It is flexible and very insightful, though there are challenges as we are expected to do internal work and external training by our training provider.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed networking and presenting skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is fairly structured in terms of us knowing what we are doing over the next year or so but weekly it can be last minute thing where we are location wise. Additionally the way the programme is structured makes it difficult to take annual leave which can be an issue as the company places emphasis on work - life balance.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot of support - there are lots of initiatives in place.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
A fair amount.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I am yet to see it, but hopefully I can see the advantage in the future.
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
Yes.
