Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves supporting ESG strategy implementation across multiple real estate investment portfolios. I help with reporting and data coverage, which involves communicating with various stakeholders and teams both internally and externally (the client).
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the program and how varied it is, have lots of exposure to new things and have the opportunity to learn from industry experts.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt the importance of ESG in regards to the property sector, which has involved developing skills from communication to report writing. Furthermore have developed my skills in time management and responsibility.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
We are the first cohort on my programme at work so there has been some teething problems with organisation however, the training side (Kingston University) is well structured with a day release and assignments.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I do get support from my employer and colleagues, however the balance between workload and uni assignments is sometimes tricky.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
There is support in place if you require it from lecturers and staff at university and help with assignments if you require.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think lots of the skills learnt at university can help with the day to day role, however some of the knowledge isn't sometimes relevant to the work that I do currently.
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 social events and a 5 a side football team that I am involved with.
