Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Have learnt to use tools such as Power Automate and Power BI to help improve processes and reporting. Also developed an understanding of IT services and management in a global organisation.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Well structured in the sense that the 2 rotations we will go through were clearly outlined, allowing us the chance to learn and develop in both areas. However, there is a lack of proper early careers program for the role, with us not having the chance to interact as much with other ECPs as much as other roles do and there is no clear learning program/development outside of the department such as project management courses or chances to broaden our scope outside of the department due to travel restrictions.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
