Overview of Role

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

4/5
Communication with clients, admin, operations, going through and understanding legal documentation, executing deals short term and long term

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
I have been able to get involved within my team but also within the wider bank by taking initiative and advantage of different opportunities

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5
I have become more confident in communicating via email and in person. My technical excel skills have improved, knowledge has increased and ability to take on tasks more independently

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5
1st Cohort so it has taken some time to settle in - team is becoming more adjusted and I am getting more opportunities now
I am happy with the structure - only concern is the opportunity to rotate once over the programme would be ideal

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
I feel heard by managers, seniors and workplace mentors - particularly after a change in our degree situation, we were heard and we were able to gain a better outcome for the apprentices

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

3/5
My academic mentor 5 stars. The organisation of the university across lecturers and course leaders are currently lacking. Communication isn't clear so it can be difficult to understand requirements

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

4/5
Current apprenticeship course - I have good skills for future managerial endeavours however currently it isn't applicable.
Newer course has more applicable theory involved in modules which should help to increase understanding further

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
I am on the Junior Network committee
I take part in Socials and Career development opportunities
I help represent young people in the Corporate Bank on Panels and events
