Overview of Role

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

5/5

I'm currently in a data analytics placement, focusing on automating a monthly PowerPoint presentation for executives using Tableau. My day-to-day tasks involve data collection, analysis, and visualisation to streamline reporting processes and provide insightful, automated updates for executive decision-making.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I'm really enjoying my placement. The ability to move around and work in different areas enhances my exposure and helps clarify my future career goals. This variety in experiences is invaluable, providing me with a broader perspective and a better understanding of what I want to pursue long-term.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

- Learnt how to use Tableau
- Worked within the GCP environment
- Improved my confidence and presentation skills

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

It is very organised in my home team as I have been able to rotate to different placements quite easily.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

We get the Friday's off as a study day to work on assignments and closer to the time when the assignment is due we get an extra study day.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

We have compulsory lectures which we need to attend and can message tutors on Teams if we have any queries. Some assignments can be difficult to complete since some lecturers are quite vague with their requirements.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

There are elements of university which help me at work but I tend to learn a lot more from work and getting hands on with projects.

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

I don't personally get involved with any extra-curricular activities but I know there are lots of societies to take part in and cultural events which JLR celebrate.
