Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

In my apprenticeship we rotate around teams every 9 months and in the role I am in at the minute I work on looking at research projects and monitoring these. I raise invoices for projects and grants.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I enjoy my programme and I like that it rotates every 9 month instead on being in 1 job you get to see a lot of different roles and pick the good and bad from each.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

There is a lot of new skills I Have learnt whether these are doing the job such as my IT skills or my communication skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

We have mentors that we can speak to whenever we need and we also get regular 1-2-1 meetings.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

I do receive support and teaching but I think there should be more resources available.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

There are certain things that I have learned through my qualification that help me or give me little hints when I am stuck at work but the majority of it doesn't link with the work I do.
