Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Great role, so much opportunity for work and to make connections. In first 6 months created a chatbot, presented in calls and gave demos, volunteered for extra work e.g. testing software, creating guides. Organised reach out events, attended conferences....
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Nothing bad to say, I get the opportunity to shape my own apprenticeship as I get to chose my team every 6mo. So many people at EON are approachable and easy to work with and ask questions. Great community of apprentices.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Work projects have tied in with uni so easy to develop skills over both - so far from software engineering, data analysis, presenting data, speaking in front of large audiences and learning how to navigate workplace dynamics.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

Clear progression routes during the apprenticeship, however my exact placements are undefined until I decide where I want to go but I am given plenty of support should I need it with deciding where to go
