Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Research, updating documents, reaching out to people, attending meetings, writing reports, providing risk assesments.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Very interesting, something new each day.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
many skills involved with project management, but also skills in a workplace; e.g. confidence, professional visibility, soft skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Well structured, however for me it feels as if >90% of my learning comes from either project work or university work, a lack from emerging talent.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Everything/most of what I have asked for/questioned has been answered by colleagues.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
University work is well structured and helps achieving my qualifications.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
A lot of the theory learnt has benefitted me in my everyday role.
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
Roughly once a quarter there is a apprentice day, a session with my cohort of apprentices. Plus there is other sessions/meetups in other aspects of work, however not very often.
