Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
A wide range of environmental consultancy roles across many infrastructure projects, predominantly within the UK.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have both a university led programme (the degree) and a company led apprentice training programme. Both of these work to build knowledge from the ground up but both assume a low initial knowledge of the covered topics which can feel less efficient in the early days.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, mostly within organisation, time management and coordination but also a lot of technical knowledge within my field.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The structure is clear and organised, giving me a good understanding of what I will be covering in the future and how one portion leads into another.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer provides a fantastic level of support, and there are regular check-ins from multiple individuals across the hierarchy to ensure I am well supported and enjoying what I do.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider is always on hand to answer any questions I may have and continues to be supportive in this manner.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel my qualification is broadly related to the work I do, however there is of course not a complete overlap between curse and job role.
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
Yes, my office holds monthly networking events, runs many sports and social teams and partakes in the UK wide annual sports day!

Be yourself and show your passion. This organisation cares as much about the individual as their qualifications and past experience.
