Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves daily standups and project management tasks. I interact daily with team members coordinating tasks to hit goals. I work on one project that is internal.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my programme and find the split between Uni and work to be a good place to learn. I am able to use what I learn in uni on my daily work.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learned multiple skills. I was given the opportunity to try coding and develop it into a skill. I was able to use my time to complete training courses and then put into practice what I had to learned on my project.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is structured well and is straightforward to follow. You can stay organised easily but it can be just as easy to become unorganised if you are not keeping on top of your work.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
IBM has been very supportive of me. Whenever I have any queries there is always someone to go to if I need help. There is a big emphasis at IBM about being the best you can be, by growing and learning.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
MMU has been very helpful. MMU provides a skills coach who is always there to provide help and answer any questions I may have. My skills coach makes sure I am on track to achieve my targets so I do not fall behind.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The subjects covered in my qualification help me get a better understanding on how to complete my role better and the skills needed in the role.
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
IBM always has activities you can get involved with. There are socials after work almost everyday and countless inclusive events held within the workplace. There is a real sense of community within IBM.
