Overview of Role

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

4/5
I build platforms which enable AI, and particularly increase the proficiency of AI within the firm

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5
Work is good, uni course is outdated

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
I’ve learnt a lot of soft skills through talking to people from all backgrounds
Developed job specific skills through mentoring and opportunities to test

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5
Work is structured as I have a solid role
Uni has a structure but they take a while to give specific dates for exams etc

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5
Support from the team is great, but there is a lack of clarity at times from other teams

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

3/5
Training provider just sends us on our way. They can support but some lectures say no to feedback, other are good

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

1/5
Qualification doesn’t help at all, learning stuff which I covered during my A-Levels and isn’t applicable to modern solutions

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
Lots of networks within the org, sometimes difficult to form apprentice network with people being busy
