Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Role started off good with promising work. However, very quite now and awaiting training for a long time.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Academic programme is engaging and can't fault any of the managers. They help as much as they can and where they can. Many different engagement events and networking events amongst academics which apprentices and graduates can take part in.

5/5
Even with role being put on hold, there are many opportunities to upskill and learn. Many different industry recognised qualifications can be learnt helping build your personal portfolio.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Programme is decently structured, regular check in with academic managers to ensure everything is going okay with your account and with degree side of things. There are occasionally moments of lack of communication from the programme, however never anything major.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
DXC supports academics well however, with the managers providing the most support. There is the opportunity for additional formal qualifications to be completed all paid for. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in additional non job role work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Training provider is usually very good at providing support if you ask. However, there has been very inconsistent quality of teaching. There has been some misleading information given, which when raised to curriculum lead was immediately rectified.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The qualification which I am studying has modules which directly relate to my role. Helping improve knowledge in the area which my role is within.
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 are many extra-curricular activities to become involved in. There are networking events such as coffee mornings, book clubs, film clubs, engagement events.
