Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Managing apprentice data for the BBC Apprenticeship Team.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Good programme, but a lot to take in during a small window. It would be useful if the programme was longer so the intake of information is more digestible.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Data analysis skills that will be useful for my data-oriented role as a business coordinator.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Pretty well overall - just a big difficulty spike in learning near the end of the programme.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Great support. I'm doing an apprenticeship within a team who manage apprentices, so everybody is aware of what it takes to complete one.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Do receive support from the training provider, but each data mentor deals with 30+ apprentices, so they're stretched pretty thin when it comes to one-to-one review meetings.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I've learnt a lot of data analysis skills from this apprenticeship (programming skills, data life cycle etc) which will help make my day-to-day work more efficient.
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
Yes - the training provider has many insight sessions and there are lots of professional networks to get involved with at the BBC.
