Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role is Software engineer specifically Cloud based where i can work with Google Cloud Platform. On a day-to-day basis, i will attend meetings with my team that present their work together and plan for the week ahead and i will have one to one chats with part of the team about how my placement will be like.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I would say i very much enjoy my program so far, being with the team its very inspiring to see what my days will be like in summer and how i will manage my time to create or develop existing things and then get to share them during weekly meetings. I also like the hospitality they give me and they settled me in within minutes.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt more about how the Cloud works and how i can use Google cloud platform. However, i have not had any learning time as most of my time has been spent with meetings and chats to get myself comfortable with the team for when I return in summer.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I believe my program so far has been nicely structured as meetings are set at good times throughout the day and breaks and lunch are provided to make sure i can stay calm whenever some of the work or meetings have been overwhelming.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I recieve quite a lot of support from my employer as they guide me to any places i need and make sure i will always have something to do to keep myself informed about the day and dags ahead
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I believe support has been a bit rocky as my training provider hasnt been very clear with our learning and its holding us back to achieve great qualifications. But overall, its not all the worst.
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 helps me to perform better by giving me knowledge that can work with my software engineering 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.)
4/5
To my knowledge, i dont believe there are any extracurricular events i can partake in but i do get to have chats with my team at lunch so i would count that as a social activity.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Lloyds Banking Group to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Lloyds banking group so far has been an amazing experience for me and i would want everyone i know at a young age to strive for something like this so they can start their career with a great job at hand and not to stress about employment after university
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lloyds Banking Group?
I would firstly say that asking questions and wanting to gain as much knowledge as possible from your team or any other apprentices that have had the experience already because it can prepare you for what you would do once its time for your placement and it can even inspire you. I would also say not to stress about it so much and try not to be shy, be confident and presentable to instantly show off the attitude you bring to your employers and thus gives them a quick idea about what type of person you are.
