Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I lead the Schools Outreach Programme across the UK by managing partnerships with local schools, councils, universities and colleges to inspire the next generation to pursue careers in IT
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have thoroughly loved my programme and working within my role. I appreciate how much my role aligns with my apprenticeship course and I value all the support given to me by my learning mentor and my line manager at Computacenter.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, communication skills, project management, strategic thinking, leadership, presentational and teamworking skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It is very well structured and is tailored to my work. I have set days fand hours for my academic learning and time towards my group study webinar sessions, as well as time to complete my role and attend school outreach events.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has been extremely supportive throughout the whole course of my apprenticeship. I regularly discuss my learning progress in my 1-2-1 meetings, I feel comfortable asking for additional study time where needed and we continuously address my development points and improvements.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The team at LDN Apprenticeships have been absolutely amazing! My learning mentor in particular, Devina, always goes above and beyond for me and helps me with achieving my goals and set aside time for additional support where needed, where we have meetings to attend to any areas of difficulty.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Very well! With regular 1-2-1 meetings, group study sessions, in-person development days and coaching sessions with my mentor and manager, it has helped me to perform even better in my existing role and manage my time between my work and my apprenticeship study
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 am involved in several Employee Impact Groups at work, for example, the Ethnic Diversity network, the Charity Fundraising group, FreshMinds for New Starters in the company and general school and charity volunteering opportunities in local communities
