Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Day-to-day can be different depending on the project and priority. I help manage and complete projects. My day-to-day consists of meetings and completing actions based on those meetings. I have the opportunity of leading and supporting other project managers which helps with my apprenticeship. I'm also able to speak to different members of different teams to understand more about different roles.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I do enjoy the program and the day-to-day role. I am given responsibility for important tasks and projects. Every day i continue to learn and grow. It's great to see the experience of other team members and learn from them. Although theres always sace for improvement

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed immensely since joining Natwest. I have been taught how to use different tools that i had no prior experience of using in the past. I have been supported to build on core skills. I am given enough time to continue to develop.

3/5
The program is mostly well-structured. The training provider has provided many support systems to help apprentices with their apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
A lot of support, any worries or issues can be raised. The team will support apprentice queries and have sessions to listen to any feedback or improvements to make.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The program is mostly well-structured. The training provider has provided many support systems to help apprentices with their apprenticeship. However, there have been issues with access to programs and changes to assignments that would hinder the experience. It would be great if lecturers were more engaged.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel like it has done well to create a process that helps us develop more in my 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.)
2/5
There are limited activities to be involved in
