Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My day to day role is placement dependant and I rotate placements very 6 months. Primarily the work I do includes building reports/dashboards using various types of data.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy my programme and feel supported in my day to day role. My function has culture that encourages the support of apprentices. However, sometimes I feel that the early careers support could be better at times.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed personal and professional skills. I had limited technical experience and did not initially intend to pursue a career in data. However, I now understand SQL and database management skills. Additionally, I know how to build report and provide valuable insight to the end user.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The day to day learning is brilliant. However, the university course could provide better tailored work for the workplace and as said previously the early careers support could be better.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I feel supported by my line manager at all times
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I feel supported and get enough time in work to complete all of my assignments.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
There are some relevant modules but some of the personal skills learning is quite dull/obvious. Additionally, many of the roles are specialist and would benefit other job roles more.
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
There are many opportunities for social/networking events. Additionally, I am also involved in weekly sports activities.
