Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Day to Day involves looking at different parts of the accounts, completing procedures set by the firm so we can gain assurance over those areas
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
I enjoy some aspects of the work, but it can be repetitive. Revising whilst working isn't the easiest either
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Excel skills and how to talk in corporate settings have improved massively.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The programme is poorly structured due to the Early careers team. When you first start, there is too much information which is not broken down into digestible chunks. Many of the guidance I have received is from colleagues which makes the experience easier.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Employer does give study fays, but very few
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
They do provide study days, and pay for the tuition but queries with early careers often take a long time to receive a response, which isn't helpful.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It does help in several areas- especially understanding why the work we are completing is important
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Netball, Religious networks, Football,
