Since joining the BBC I have learnt a variety of business analysis skills.

My programme is well structured; I meet my line manager frequently throughout the week to discuss my ongoing work, have weekly team meetings, and I am given 1 day a week to complete my university work and lectures.

The BBC provide great support for any questions or concerns regarding the university work. We have scheme specialists who we meet with monthly and can ask any questions regarding the university work. Also everyone in my team is very supportive and willing to help if I have any questions.

I attended a block release at my university for 7 weeks for an introductory module to the course. This provided me with the basic knowledge and skills to begin the course. We now attend weekly lectures online and attend in-person study days every few months,

My university course allows me to learn a variety of business analyst skills which I can apply to my role, and help expand my knowledge of the discipline. It has also provided me with core coding skills which I am able to apply in my role to gain a better understanding of the projects which I am currently involved in.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
