Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I essentially help the project managers ensure the project is done on time, on budget and to a high quality. This involves talking to clients, gathering data, reporting, and ensuring health and safety.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the programme and the emerging talent team are helpful in making sure you are well looked after.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5

The employer is very helpful if anything is going wrong. They will find a way to fix the issue or find a best solution for it.

I find that you learn key skills that will help you, whether this is leadership or how to motivate someone to contract law and dispute resolution.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are usually often extra-curricular activities to get involved in and you can always try and organise one yourself if you have a good idea that is feasible.
