Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
The apprenticeship was a Data Fellowship programme funded by Balfour Beatty and organised by Multiverse
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I loved it! I learnt a lot as well re-learning old lessons such as time management. Great resources and excellent support provided by Multiverse. I can see this as a possibility for other skill sets in Balfour Beatty for addressing the resource gaps as we move into the future.

A mixture of both
