Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role involves supporting colleagues for various projects. Majority of days include doing individual member calculations for schemes
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy the programme because it gives a good balance of practical work and theory. I have been able to get a better understanding of financial markets and pensions - something I had never considered before
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
New skills, particularly technical and excel skills have been developed in this role. I have also been able to gain skills on key financial terms
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It is well structured and module submissions are nicely spread to allow time in between to make progress
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Regular 1-to-1 catchups with my manager and team help give the support I need whether it is to be involved in more work streams, or to manage my work
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My training provider and coach are helpful and supportive
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
So far, I have not experienced a direct link between the training provided by the training provider and my employment.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are loads of EC activities available - there is something for everyone and the company are always open to suggestions too! I personally have not been involved in any regular ones.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend WTW to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The training and support provided is second to none! They really take their time to make sure you know your stuff and provide extra support if needed. The people are really helpful too and you join with a 'cohort' of colleagues so everyone is in the same boat
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to WTW?
Be yourself - They will appreciate the authenticity a lot more. Everyone has a part to play
