Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
During my day to day work I produce and fix schedules or I support my line manager or co workers with work that has high importance. I also take part in additional activities that help my learning towards improving in areas that I feel need work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I absolutely love the programme as it has provided me with a great work life balance which was my main concern but BAE have been so supportive with all aspects of the job role.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I've learnt a massive variety of new skills that have helped me in and out of work. With new responsibilities it has allowed me to become confident and dedicated to showing other people my work.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I believe the structure is fantastic as they have lots of different reviews and updates to ensure you are getting the most out of the degree apprenticeship. Additionally they also provide support if you are feeling overwhelmed
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support is second to none. In all aspects of my work I am always checked up upon and provided instant support when I need it. Furthermore, they make it easy to reach out for support as the team around you are all willing to help as much as possible
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
You receive a lot of support as said previously they ensure that you maintain the work life balance as much as possible so that you have enough time to study and revise for tests and future sessions with the university or with the apprenticeship
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
In the job role there are certain targets to hit and the training you are given is more than enough to help me perform better in my job role. There is also numerous training activities, videos and scenarios that you can take part of to ensure that you are confident in all the different areas.
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
One of my favourite things about BAE is the amount of extra curricular events or activities there are for you to compete in. I have taken part in numerous activities such as joining the BAE 5 a side football team to also the social events afterwards to help with bonding and collaborating outside of work. it is one of the best aspects of BAE as there is something for everyone.
