Trainee Business Analyst Review

My role as a Trainee Business Analyst (BA) involves working on internal IT projects, as the part I need to engage regularly with key stakeholders and facilitate workshops to elicit requirements and construct other BA documentation e.g. process maps.

Really well organised from start to finish, support has been excellent every step of the way. However, I do think that the pathway from apprentice to a full role within the business could be made clearer - as we are the first cohort of degree apprentices in my department there is currently no documented, clear progression pathway from apprentice to a BA role.

My employer could not be anymore supportive. Line manager and senior leadership within my team are always there for me and accommodate for my Uni learning really well by giving me enough time to complete that work to a high standard.
They have also been super patient and supportive whilst developing as a Trainee BA, facilitating training courses for me and also a great mix of hand-holding/support whilst learning the craft on projects, to now letting me work independently and lead on key projects for my development.

MMU have been excellent. Lecturers always going above and beyond to support me and the other TfGM apprentices through our course.

My qualification/Uni course massively helps me in my day to day role. It provides me with essential context and knowledge around IT, business, project management etc ... which has enabled me to feel more confident when working on projects and gain a deeper understanding of more technical topics.

Yes

Without a doubt, 100%. TfGM is a fantastic place to work and develop as an apprentice. I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
