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

Oracle procurement consultant. Day to day can involve liaising with team members and the client to understand requirements and in turn set up the configuration in the system. Documenting this set up and then testing. Often supporting the client through testing and with any questions and fixing any defects raised as a result of testing.

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

I am now recognised as a Oracle Procurement implementation specialist after building up my knowledge through training and on projects and passing the exam. Many soft skills and consultant skills picked up and developed through working in teams, reporting to managers on a weekly basis and also working face to face with the client. Also developed many new skills, some technical and also business related through the degree studies.

I understand what I have to do by when, where I have to be in relation to Uni and on what dates for my entire program (up to 2 years ahead), therefore I would say it is well structured.
