Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Helping a colleague with Power BI work which includes data quality analysis. Was presented with 2 data sets which I had to filter and reconcile to identify differences and errors and make suggestions on how to improve it. Currently in the middle of planning on how to create a report on Power BI using the data set to improve data quality analysis and present my findings. Also involved in ad hoc work e.g. monthly EFT reconciliations.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Enjoy it a lot as I'm constantly learning new things and everyone is very nice and supportive and happy to help.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Developed Excel skills and a greater understanding on Power BI and Microsoft PowerPoint. Also improved communication skills by networking with people in my team and other employees at BBC.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Programme seems structured on BBC's side but the learning providers could do better communicating with us in terms of deadlines and what needs to be done
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Receive a lot of support from my colleagues, managers and scheme leaders as they are all happy to help
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
they provide support but are very vague as to what needs to be done and by when
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Things I learn from my training provider are applicable and transferrable to my role e.g. reconciliation is a topic in financial accounting - a module I'm doing so learning from them has helped me gain a better understanding and has helped me perform better in my 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
A lot of societies such as football and other sports and other societies such as Muslim network
