Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
i was a flying start working on audit, ensuring the clients financial statements are true and fair
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
It is a good programme, however, for a first experience the world of audit can be alot to take in. It can be daunting too
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
yes i have learnt development, resilience, team working, attitude to work, and number crunching.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It was good - we had digitial learning teaching experiences and a career coach but i think that if on every client we had a buddy or someone that had time and knowledge to look after us then it would be better

i do believe what i learn in uni is being put into practise. its nice to know i can apply my knowledge
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
yes there is - i would say though that maybe alot of their social meet ups are based in locations like pubs which can mean i often decline socials due to religious beliefs.
