Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Catchup meeting in the morning to check progress. Solving problems and creating solutions for the rest of the day.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I absolutely love it. I feel like there has to be some catch and it's too good to be true, but there isn't!
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
So many! Communication and teamwork are just some examples of soft skills, however I have developed largely in my hard skills in coding.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I believe it depends largely on your project and los you are in. Mine was very well structured, I have heard different experiences however.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
There is a lot of support. In learning new skills, expanding your knowledge and of course financially.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We have meetings every so often to catch up and the help is there if needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It definitely does, software engineering relates to my role massively, thinking about key terms that come up constantly
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
There are loads of networking and social events outside of work.
