Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
i work directly with a senior programme manager on a day-to-day basis. I coordinate meetings, meeting minutes, create cost tables/programmes/project trackers. Doing this is very good for my professional development due to the fact that I work closely with senior stakeholders and I am learning something new everyday.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am thoroughly enjoying my programme as I am learning both professionally and educationally at the same time. Having a strict schedule has made me become a more organised individual and is helping me adapt to a more professional lifestyle.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
My communication skills have developed a lot since starting the programme in September, as I am required to speak and comment in a professional manner. In addition I have learned how to separate and manage my time more efficiently, which has benefitted both my professional and personal life.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is very well organised. I get plenty of notice when compulsory development sessions are taking place, which allows me to schedule around them so I can stay on top of my work load while attending.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have multiple support pathways spread out between Mace and my project team, all of which are more than willing to lend me a hand when I need one
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from BPP, including their HSW team and my uni coach. BPP reach out once a month to ask how I am getting on, if I am worried about anything and they give me solutions with what I can do to resolve these issues.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The content which I learn is directly linked to what I perform in my job role. For example, managing/negotiating with stakeholders, I have to do this on a daily basis so learning specially how to communicate and manage them is extremely helpful. Overall, my learning improves my professional performance a lot.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are multiple opportunities that are at hand to me at Mace to participate in. One of which is a run club, which is very supporting and fun to do with my colleagues.
