Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I would move placements each year to get a feel for the business. I would be given tasks and projects to work on that actually made a difference. I was mainly office based but there were opportunities to get out the office and see what we worked on.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Its been really good. I've been given loads of support and its given me many opportunities.

The university give us lectures and do check ins to make sure that we are okay with what we have been learning.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

While some of it might not be specific to my role, it has helped me grasp concepts and use what I've learnt in my day to day job.
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
There are stretch projects which we can do that may be STEM events or things we do outside of our scope.
