Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves assisting my team with varying tasks, and my day-to-day is always different. Sometimes they can be repetitive but there's often opportunity to learn new things. The on the job training is not structured, so it does rely on your team's ability to assign tasks. There's always company wide schemes to get involved in to get new responsibilities and interact with new people.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the programme most when there's varied tasks, a balanced workload and I enjoy getting new responsibilities. However, balancing studying with work can get difficult, as you don't know what your busiest days will be. I would prefer more structured training as sometimes I think my time could be used more efficiently but overall I enjoy the programme and it has given me many opportunities that I would have otherwise missed.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Each project comes with new tasks and responsibilities and you learn to manage your time. The wider company projects have helped build presentation skills, communication and people skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
During my study day, it feels structured as I manage my time myself. On the job, the training isn't as structured as the workload depends on what tasks you're give, and there's not a set list of roles and responsibilities. However, this depends on the team you're in as some of my rotations have been busier and more organised than others.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
There is a lot of support from line managers and colleagues and everyone is always happy to answer questions and give advice when you need it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There is a lot of support on the degree and you can request tutors and ask questions to module leaders. The apprenticeship officers check your progress regularly and make sure you're on track and you can tell them your concerns and ask questions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Some modules such as valuation and property law have been good for building knowledge, however they don't help you perform better since the way its done on the job is usually different from academics. Some modules don't relate at all to the 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
There are many opportunities for apprentices and graduates in the wider company, such as social activities, client activities and networking events.
