Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Analysing data and problem solving for Travis Perkins. Very varied. Presenting Data for a wide range of uses throughout the business
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Going to be hard work but definitely enjoy it. Have made friends with some more people at my company because of it and gained vital knowledge I need to progress.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
So far it's more the management of others and expectations which is really valuable.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Pretty well organised. Not perfect but it's difficult to organise everyone when they're in different companies
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Couldn't ask for more.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
It's not like university so they baby us as much but sometimes the knowledge of how I'm doing isn't there. But they probably have a large number of people to look after.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think it's the softer skills that are really beneficial. I know SQL, but I don't know how to manage my manager into when to expect an SQL piece of work. Or what stakeholders were until this course
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
We do a meet up every now and again. Go for dinner etc. Need to do more.
