Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work in a team which manages a platform that software developers use to store code. I have been involved in interesting projects like working on the integration of CS into UBS.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Very much, but it is dependent on your interest in technology in the first place. Some of the study aspects of the programme can get really tedious, but i dont think it on the level of a full time uni course.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Communication, Negotiation, Persuasion, General Awareness on Technology
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is well organised though moving teams can be made more efficient
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
a lot of support is given to manage studies, and managers are understanding when you need to take leave as long as you communicate our reasoning clearly
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There is good amount of support for the team at the uni
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Give a good base understanding of tech in general, but you also need to have enough interest in your role to learn on the job as well.
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
plenty of networks an events
