Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
In my day-to-day role, I spend my time supporting colleagues on their current projects, design emails, chat with my team and keep up to date on their workload. I speak with different people in differing teams in the organisation as well as completing my university work on a Friday.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy my programme very much. I thoroughly enjoy the flexibility of my work and the workload is manageable. My colleagues are all very friendly and super supportive.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt how to use a multitude of different systems, learnt how to professionally communicate. I now know how to connect with different audiences and conduct market research to understand the needs of my audiences.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The university work is very well organised and very easy to navigate. My tutor is super responsive and clearly very eager to help me and I can tell she has my best interests at heart. My workload is as organised as it can be.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a sufficient amount of support from my employer. They ensure that I am presented with multiple opportunities every few months and this allows me to get involved in different projects and speak to individuals I may not have spoken with or worked with otherwise.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive lots of support through my tutor. She is very eager to help me learn and complete my tasks to the best of my abilities.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I believe that this thoroughly depends on the current project I am working on. Occasionally the content I study at university can link to the content I produce at work - but this is not always a guarantee.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
There are a few activities that are in the making at the moment. I am not currently and actively involved in any personally.
