To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I've just started but the programme so far has been a placement as a part of the team. I have enjoyed completing the tasks and hearing about the different experiences of staff that have been with Pearson for a while.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I'm relatively new but I have developed employability skills and planning skills. I've also developed my interpersonal and communication skills. I have also been making use of my research skills with the tasks I've down. Shadowing work styles and communication has been developed as well.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is very well structured and allocates appropriate time for each task. Regular check ins have contributed to my good experience with this programme. There has been some delay with certain processes but nothing too drastic.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
We get our lunch paid for and get regular touch ups with early careers to assess how we have been doing. The team is ready to offer advice and assistance at all times.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Our provider is very supportive with our education and our industry placement. They also provide reimbursement for travel to our work placements.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Our training provider has given us support when it comes to foundational knowledge when it comes to project management, business communication, and business behaviours.
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
Not that worried about sports activities but we will be invited to apprenticeship networking events. Professional networking will also be offered .
