Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Broker support, so providing slips for brokers, processing, filing emails - everything which allows brokers to conduct business
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Enjoy it very much as my team is fun to be in and teach me a lot. It is a great way to get a foot in the door of such a big company

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Become a lot more confident in technology as I am using Microsoft Office apps every day. Have massively developed many skills such as time management and communication skills

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Well structured, good support system in place
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Lots of support when it comes to studying or sitting exams, or other opportunities for youth events within the company
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Have a coach assigned to me who I have monthly catch-ups with. This is very helpful as she is constantly monitoring me for any queries I have, not just about qualifications but for anything to do with work
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
It teaches me background about the industry, which I wouldn't have otherwise got as we operate in a very niche market.
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
There are professional networking events for young employees
