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

I produce job packs for our engineers. I also process their timesheets and holiday requests to HR. I raise the opening notices and live jointing requests to the relevant companies.

8/10

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

I have learnt more about the wider E.ON company and how it affects my section. I have learnt about project management which I have never done before.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoyed learning new things throughout the course and have tried to use the new information at work.

7/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I think the training part of it is well organised as the modules follows the work done. Sometimes I find the 1-2-1 meetings with my development coach to not be much use or well organised. Sometimes I don't get a reply to emails to my development coach.

6/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I get a lot of support from my employer as whenever I ask a question that I am stuck on they are happy to help me with it.

9/10

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

I am able to email any queries but sometimes they do not get answered. I have been rushed at the end of the course to get it completed and I get told to do new things at the last moment which is stressful.

5/10

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

It has made me think about the way others work and why they come across as they do and also how what I do and say can seem to others. It has got me thinking more about why we do the things we do.

8/10

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.)

No there is not.
