Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am part of a project team working on a large scale project, tracking data, trends and creating reports for analysis.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Good programme but I feel like no need for it to be 3 years in length. 2 would be more than sufficient.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Absolutely learnt new skills, in particular project management skills and techniques.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

The team work hard to get good systems in place. And communication is really strong.

5/5
Great support from the business, in particular from those managing us in our placements.

4/5
Good regular reviews and structured catch ups.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Training is excellent and so is the level of effort the business places in your development.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Endless opportunities to network and to take on extra responsibilities.
