Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I help clients who want more insight in what their data is telling them. Key aspects of this are verifying and cleansing the data, and setting up dashboards and visualisations. I provide summaries and recommendations based on this, to allow clients to take actions to improve key metrics.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
It was a great experience that might not have been possible without Adopstar. I learnt a lot about time management through one-on-one support and regular reviews. Balancing work and study was challenging, but ultimately, helped me to grow as an individual.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I had experience with databases and basic SQL prior to joining Adopstar, but this was from an accounting background. I've learnt a lot, including advanced SQL, Python and R, and fundamentals for database administration and analysis. Through interacting with customers, I have enhanced my customer experience skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme was well structured, with clear goals and timelines. One module built on another, with a great blend of theoretical and practical learning.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Through my team leader and management at Adopstar, I received a lot of support. I had regular catch ups and one-on-one support that helped me to stay on schedule. Adopstar are also great at making time for apprentices to learn and study.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I received a lot of support from Intequal, including one-on-one sessions when there were no other participants. This allowed us to tailor the learning to my experience and helped me in preparation of my end point assessment.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The things that I learnt allowed me to optimise tasks that I had worked on previously. It made a huge difference in my day to day work. It also gave me confidence in the work I was doing.
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
Yes, we have a lot of activities available, within and outside working hours. We have charity events, networking events, awards nights and community events. It's great to get to network with other professionals, as well as with the local community.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Adopstar to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Adopstar staff, and as a business, make a point to try to support each other. From socialising together, to working together on a task - I love the teamwork, as well as the importance of each individual. The atmosphere is a lot more enjoyable than I've worked in before. There is a sense of trust and respect between colleagues, and with the company.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Adopstar?
Start with the right attitude, be willing to learn and open to others. Most of all though, be yourself!
