i believe i recieve a good amount of support when needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
my placement only focuses on one specific part of project controls and so i am able to learn the whole process of creating a project. we have also been taught risk and so i was able to understand what i need to do and why within my placement.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
there are activities to get involved in however it is not communicated very well across the whole business so i tend to forget or not hear about it until its late.
