Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work in the London Development Land team who focus on the disposal and acquisition of property inside the M25, particularly sites that have a residential angle
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I thoroughly enjoy the fact that i get to learn on the job as well as carry out a degree at the same time. The work I complete in the day job is really helpful when it comes to completing assignments.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed my networking skills, Savills offers a whole range of opportunities to get involved internally and externally when it comes to meeting new people.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Savills set out a very clear plan from the moment you join that is well aligned with the university programme as well as the RICS programme. We always know what our next steps are.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer continues to offer me support throughout my apprenticeship, whether that be mental health support or academic support. My colleagues are always happy to answer any questions I might have regarding my uni assignments.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
UCEM have always offered support from the moment I started, making me aware that should I ever have any issues then I know where to go.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The first few years seem to relate a little less to the day job than the latter, I think this is probably down to having to learn the fundamentals of the built environment before learning more specialist subjects.
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
I actively take part in Savills football and had the opportunity to represent Savills in the Property Cup with a day playing at Loftus Road
