Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am on a rotation of the varied PMO job roles including Risk, Change and Reporting. Currently I am helping with the reporting aspect so spend time on excel formatting and creating project reports, both weekly and monthly.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I very much enjoy the structure of my programme and like how the cohort is large and all 'in the same boat'.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have improved on my excel skills significantly.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is very well organised however I would say the opportunities are not well advertised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Mace is very good at giving us support in all aspects of the business.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
They do give support however I would say the training provider itself has many lecturers that are not the best at explaining various topics and telling us where to go for further help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I would say it helps extensively as it is directly related to 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.)
4/5
I enjoy any social activity.
