Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I am involved in controlling the different constraints of a project. Currently I create and update/monitor trackers for hours spent on different contracts to help measure progress.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I really enjoy my programme as it has given me so many opportunities to progress, and get involved with different experiences. All my colleagues are very helpful and informative.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

The role has given me the opportunity to learn how to use different software tools, allowing my IT skills to progress massively.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

Very well organised, good layout in terms of having a new placement each year.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

Lots of support, lots of people to reach out to for help if needed.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

Sometimes confusing communication from training provider in relation with university. Could benefit from having more often catch ups with the university.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

I learn new things that are often quite directly related to my role, helping my overall understanding of the role of project control.

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

Would like more organisation with sports teams, but there are plenty of networking events to get involved with.
