Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My role varies depending on the team I'm working on, recently I have been involved in writing automation scripts which are intended to take over from manual processes using Python and boto3.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am enjoying it, I live the relaxed nature of my job, there isn't any micro-managing, I'm left free to work on what I have to do.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my skills in Python as well as got some experience in using the boto3 SDK to interact with AWS services.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I would say it is well structured. Each Wednesday is university day so I get to be in class for that day.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I don't receive much but that's because I haven't needed any so far. I know that if I was struggling with something then I would get that help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a lot of support, lecturers are happy to make themselves available if I have any questions. They are also happy to provide feedback on any work I have before I submit it.
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 more about Python which has helped me in my job.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
No there are not, I work from home so this isn't really possible.

Would you recommend DXC to a friend?
Yes

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to DXC?
