Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
working on contracts, invoicing and communicating with different teams to create the required work for completion. we have daily team calls in the morning and my role is very much a supportive role to the brokers i work with. This is not exclusive to one person and i instead work across the whole team.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
i have really enjoyed the programme, as explained it has been great in my personal development and start of my career that i feel will stay with me through out my journey in life. it has definitely helped to prepare me and accelerate my learning in every area i work towards
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt an incredible amount of new skills, not only in the industry i work in but also on a personal level, as i joined this programme as a school leaver . Meaning this has been great in my personal development across the board as i am able to work harder and make stronger connections
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
the programme is organised however there have been some issues with the learning provider, this has nothing to do with the company i work for. however the learning provider could definitely do with improvement as there was lots of time delays and some issues with communication on some of the tasks i completed
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I received a really strong amount of support from my employer, with my manager and team being great in the lead up to my exams. They have also been more than willing to help with my progress and development in any areas i have need additional support from them on.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
my training provider was good in there approach towards my qualifications, however there was definitely room for improvement. with communication issues, delays and sometimes a lack of knowledge. I feel they would benefit from being better organised and helping to provide additional recourses for examinations as the preparation is very limited
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
i think my qualification has helped me with a much more professional approach to working life. however the extent to which it has expanded my knowledge has been very limited, but it has hopefully provided good exposure to different areas that i feel has benefited me in the long run.
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
there are lots of extra-curricular activities at work, with the industry being a very social one this has been a great way to connect with new people and expand my network further. There are also team days that help with the inner connection, meaning work can be produced much more effectively as the team work stronger as one
