Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role at the BBC is excellent. I work on a new project every 6 months at the BBC, each placement gives me the opportunity to meet new people, build my network and learn new things everyday. One day of the week I study which is useful to better my understanding on Project Management and therefore helps me with my bau work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
My role is perfect for me. It is the perfect balance between hands on experience and getting involved but also studying and keeping up with my academic learning. The BBC is such a positive place to work and so inspiring when surrounded by talented individuals.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Everyday I feel like I learn something new big or small, and every day I am able to develop my skills as well as learn of other people
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very organised, which is perfect for someone like myself who is very organised. 2 days of the week in office, which gives the opportunity to socialise, build connections and sustain existing ones. 3 days of the week at home, one including my study day; this is the perfect balance. We also have the opportunity to strucutre our working days around our scheudles e.g. blocking designated time out for our studies if needed.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I can reach out to my line manager whenever I need to, and responses are always quick, helpful and supporting. I also have many other contacts who i can go to if I need.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I can email any questions to my tutor, and theres lots of other support avaliable e.g. booking 1 to 1's
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
particularly writing assignments has helped me preform better as I'm able to understand in better detail where certain topics translate within my workplace.
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 is many, weekly.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BBC to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It's the best decision I made; so much room for learning, growing, networking, meeting new people, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. All in all such a positive place to work.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BBC?
Don't be shy, be confident. You got the role for a reason. Ask as many questions as you need. Don't stop yourself from reaching out for help, you are completely new and people are so happy to help. Don't be too hard on yourself, you are going to make mistakes and that is okay!
