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 Submarine Support and work alongside Change Management. I also study a degree in Project Management.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy both the university and placement side of things.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have built my confidence through speaking to new people and I now know how to use more technical softwares.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very well-structured - we know about everything going on well in advance.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive lots of support - my line manager is always asking if I need any help and I know where to go for more support if needed.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Enough support - sometimes I wish there was more (such as when they don't reply to Q&As quickly), however I have found it easy enough to research into my questions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Very well - the modules link perfectly with the work I complete in my placement, such as stakeholder engagement and project planning.
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
There are plenty of STRETCH opportunities and networking events for apprentices.

Do your research - it helps if you know more about the business and can relate the behaviours to your life.
