Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I lead on UI for First Choice, collaborating with UX Designers and Developers, owning the creation and maintenance of our design system and endeavouring to improve accessibility for our customers.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love the programme, our apprenticeship coaches are really supportive, we have a wonderful group of learners that has helped to expand my network and wider business knowlesge, and the workshop sessions are always great!
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learned a ton of skills through this programme already, it has built my confidence in subjects I already had some knowledge about, and introduced me to new skills and ways of thinking too!
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The organisation is excellent, there are regular workshops, work is always uploaded into smart assessor in advance, and the progress reviews are regularly booked in. There is also a regular drop in session to ask for support, although if we need support outside of this that is totally fine too!
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer is empowering me to complete this programme by allowing me to manage my own time and block out my calendar to work on my apprenticeship when needed. My line manager attends progress reviews and is always happy to support with anything that I need.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The TUI apprenticeship coaches are always on hand to help with anything we need
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It teaches me best practice when it comes to being a new manager, and shows me frameworks and techniques that I might have never come across otherwise. It also helps boost confidence in my abilities
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
We have both virtual and in person socials, including team days, virtual quizzes and christmas parties.
