Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
At the moment, I'm completing PLA Training as well as taking on as much information as possible from people more experienced than myself in order to grow as a worker and independently.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Very welcoming and easy to get along with people allowing me to enjoy the programme a lot, however I've only just started.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Teamwork is a extremely integral part of Pfizer's functioning which has allowed me to develop my own skills in conversing with people and sharing opinions. Additionally, the ability to adapt is also very important especially for a new starter such as myself as you need to take on a lot of new information in order to be able to preform well in your given role.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very thought out, respect university work time if extra is needed and allow for the 2 to intertwine and compliment each other very well.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Several programmes are in place so I feel I can always go to someone if needs be.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Only just began but I believe they have my best interest in mind and will help me anyway they can.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Allows me to obtain a deeper understanding as to why things happen rather than me blindly recording data down and actually being able to explain trends and why've they occurred
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Football, apprentice programme
