Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I manage multiple project teams, engaging stakeholders, managing finances and ensure outputs are achieved
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the job, less so the studying part.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes I have developed personal, professional and technical skills whilst working for Mace

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Training is very structured, can be difficult to get into a project team to start with due to lack of companies willing to take on external apprentices.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Reasonable support, don't feel I need much more than I get
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Good support, 12 weekly catch ups, prompt email reponses
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It adds to my technical knowledge however a lot of it isn't applicable to the industry I currently sit in
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Some - not as social as it used to be.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Mace Consult to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Good company, decent benefits, lovely colleagues - haven't come across 1 person who isn't willing to help
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Mace Consult?
Be yourself, hiring an apprentice is about the person not the skills behind you - you'll build them up through your apprenticeship.
