Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working alongside colleagues in teams of a variety of levels completing audit related work and learning new skills. Also work alongside fellow apprentices going through qualifications and applying the knowledge in day to day work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I began the programme not knowing what to expect but I have since learned a great deal, became more comfortable in the work environment and had many opportunities I had not thought possible prior to staring this role.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Beginning this role, I had never worked in the field and essentially did not know anything. Over the first 6 months, i learned a great deal through working and learning. I have always felt supported and this is why I have been able to develop new and build on existing skills. This includes technical ability but also personal skills such as my communication, organisation and my overall confidence.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It is very well organised, I always know what the upcoming events are and know who to go to if there is ever an instance where I am unsure.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive an excellent amount of support, be that through my colleagues, first line managers and the platform provided to us. I have never felt unsupported and know who I can reach out to if I am need of support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We receive a great deal of support, the blocks from the training provider are often short courses but we continue to receive support from them, be that through check in calls or emails.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I believe studying these qualifications help the technical side of the role as it aids understanding of overall day to day work and improving understanding means that I produce a better standard of work.
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
Yes, there are a variety of activities to get involved in. Be that fundraising and volunteering to clubs organised by employees. Even activities related to well-being such as lunch time walks and bake sales to raise money.
