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

I help out around site supervising men and do some setting out when required giving levels and learning to use a GPS, I also give the majority of site inductions when I'm in the office.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the program and think the way Kier does things are good just wish the uni course was better and was located closer rather than a central uni
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have improved my communication skills massively and have gained confidence talking in front of people especially when they are very experienced.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme is structured well just needs to be publicised more so everyone is on the same page rather than just hearsay and put into a flow chart so is a clear direction
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
For development within my job I got a lot of support but I don't often receive all my allocated time which makes it hard to keep up with my uni work

4/5
The support varies between lecturers, there are good systems in place with regular check ups from other people in the university
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Currently most of the stuff I am learning is not relevant to my job

I have been to one
