Overview of Role

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

4/5

Writing python scripts, creating dashboards, communicating to scientists about their data and working with them to get it analyzed, stored and visualized.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

It is a great place to learn, so I enjoy it thoroughly - the people are great, always willing to teach/get you up to speed. I have felt very welcome.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have improved my python skills; learnt how to use new software; and also have been encouraged to learn new things, and been supported in doing so.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

The structure is clear and communicated well by both my employer and learning provider (my university).

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

Lots of support is available, including help lines, people available to talk to (including my manager, my team and more), and online resources.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

There are many resources available online, and these are communicated well. The teachers are usually willing to help but not always the easiest to get hold of

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

Many of my modules have impacted my work directly, helping me to deliver my work, and to a higher standard.

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

We have a leisure centre at work, and there is a gym, as well as squash courts, badminton courts, etc., there are also clubs and fitness classes. There are also social events for apprentices/early talent/departments.
