7/10

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

Currently, I am on the bench waiting for a new role. Previously, I was working as a scrum master. It's very daunting being on the bench as there are not many roles available and the available roles require training.

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

I have learnt some skills mainly through the university though. I have learnt some software development skills and lots of business agility skills.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It all depends on your project/ if you are in a project. Some projects can be very tedious so it's important to find something suitable for you... this is easier said than done.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The university is fairly well structured. The University of East London is not very good at all though. Accenture can be structured well but it just depends on your luck

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

University gives you lots of support. Accenture has a few opportunities for support but some of the apprenticeship staff are not very helpful and can make you not want to reach out for help.

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

In regards to uni, there is lots of support available. At Accenture not so much.
