Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I am involved in assisting with legal work related to the practice that I am in. This changes every year/6 months which gives me a variety of work that I get involved in.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I enjoy my programme for multiple different reasons. This includes the level of involvement I have as a junior in client projects, the people, the social aspects and the support.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have both learnt and developed my skills by a vast amount throughout the three years I have currently been in my role. The exposure that I receive and the knowledge that I gain will enable me to be miles ahead as an NQ.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

2/5

As my programme is very new to KPMG, there are still some areas that are currently strengthening as the firm become more familiar with the programme that I am on. It is a learning curve, but has been continuously improving as time goes by.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

There is always someone to reach out to and everyone is extremely happy to speak whenever it is needed.

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.)

4/5

There are many extra-curricular activities to be involved in at the firm which makes it a very social place to be.

Recommendations & Advice

Yes

Why?

It is amazing for juniors to learn and develop and provides a safe, kind and empowering environment for the future of my field. The support and learning is unmatched to what I have seen in other apprenticeships.
