Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role is highly project management based working with many cross functional teams to ensure the best for patients / participants in clinical trials. On a day to day basis this means being in many team meetings to resolve issues and current projects.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as an apprentice at GSK and feel that it has been a great way for me to gain insights into clinical research.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
During my time as an apprentice I have learnt and developed many new & existing skills such as effective communication, teamwork, project management and leadership.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
My program at GSK has been well structured however there have been challenges with the university.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I have received excellent support from my employer both with my university work and with my on-the-job learning. It can be very difficult to come into a corporate environment after leaving school however they were understanding and gave me the support needed.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The support from the training provided has been quite hands off and is very much defined as ''self learning''. I feel that there could have been more support given from the training provider.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualification is very related to my role and therefore has been beneficial to my success in my apprenticeship.
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 many extra-curricula activities to get involved in at GSK including early talent social activities, sports teams and annual celebrations.
