Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I manage a number of BAU processes as well as up to 10 different projects across the devices business.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy the program, I'm able to balance work with study well.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I've learned so much over my time at Amazon so far, including communication, managing large scape projects, reporting to senior leaders (Director and above), and complex risk management across our key projects.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It's well structured, with 1 day a week for study, and then 4 days working. We take 2 day masterclasses once a month, which give us a face to face learning experience and enable us to meet industry experts.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I get lots of support from Amazon. My immediate team are very supportive, and so are stakeholders I work with across the business.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
We get lots of support, with regular 1-1 and drop in sessions, as well as weekly webinars alongside the face to face learning we receive monthly. Our lecturing team are always there to support when we need.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
By gaining the theoretical experience, I'm able to apply this to my day job, bringing that learning element into the industry and it enables me to have a concrete understanding on how to manage projects in the real world.
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
I get to regularly travel with work for a number of different events, and there is always something going on in the office, which is great to network with people from other areas of the business.
