Every day was different. Day-to-Day can involve things such as Financial, Business and Market Analysis. Occasionally, a customer meeting may occur. In this role you truly learn about businesses and how they operate.
In this role I have developed many skills such as Teamwork, Networking, Self-Drive and Communication.
During my time I have thoroughly enjoyed my programme as the Bank really supports you and I found it very easy to connect with people from all over the country that work within the Bank.
My programme was structured well. Points of improvement could be more awareness from BPP to know the role you are doing as I did face a few issues with this as they did not understand my role.
Everyone around me was very supportive and was always ready to help me in any sort of support I needed. Me and my Line Manager have weekly catch-ups to see where I was at and if I required any support.
There are calls that happen often and that can be helpful. One-to-One with coaches can also be helpful and there was support however when facing issues it could be tough to find a solution.
I think that the qualification I took was tailored more around a customer facing role where as in my role we did a lot of the behind the scenes work so getting the customer facing pieces of work done was tough.
I found there was a lot of Networking Events that occurred in the Bank and outside the Bank that helped me meet some great people.
Yes
I think the work environment was an environment where I felt comfortable in being myself but also I felt supported if I was ever in an uncomfortable situation.
I would advice anyone to feel free to ask questions and to never feel afraid of asking anything.
