8.5/10

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

My Role is a junior PM role so involves with me sitting in on meetings off high importance and taking meetings notes and then after going through them finding any actions then chasing and tracking them. This also involves lots of RAID and risk management techniques

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes- People management, prioritisations of tasks, excel

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy the current programme i am working on as i have been lucky to secure a position on a brand new project which is going through two types off transformations so it's really engaging and i get to see the start and end off a project

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Since the day i started i have had on going knowledge transfer from team members until i was at the level to own tasks. Then once i got comfortable in my first role i was rotated in a new position in order to keep the new learning going

10/10

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

Not that much but it also isn't needed to me personally

6/10

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

I think that the course will become more relevant to my role once we split off in to our own pathways as i am the business side and i have to do technical side at uni which i find really challenging and not engaging whatsoever

4/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes at work and uni i play for the football teams

10/10

9a. Would you recommend CGI to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I think it's a great place to kickstart your career in a big firm with lots off connections and opportunity's and i;'d like to work along side them

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to CGI?

Be curious ask lots off questions and I'd say a big trait is to be quietly confident - you don't have to be the loudest voice in the room but once you talk make it meaningful
