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

I work on the Prudential Liquidity Management desk where I deal with handling the Liquidity Coverage Ratio and the Wholesale Stress. We go and buy and sell products on the market to fund this, making sure they remain over the requirements everyday.

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

I have learnt many skills such as communication, taking responsibility, time management and many more that are necessary in any career.

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I thoroughly enjoy my programme as I am always busy, learning new things and meeting new people. No day is the same but every day allows you an opportunity to grow.

9/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

We are on rotations which are 6 months long apart from the first one which is 9. We are the first cohort so there are some details to be ironed out but we are well informed of anything that may change or that is taking place in the future.

7/10

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

I receive so much support from my employer. I can go to anyone with any question and they will happily take time out of their day to help me.

9/10

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

We receive support from our training provider in the form of 6 weekly meetings. We are also able to contact our talent coach at any time or talk to our cohort manager who will be able to contact our talent coach for us.

8/10

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

I feel my qualification is helping me perform well as it teaches me about aspects of my role I may not learn on a day to day basis in the office. It allows me to broaden my understanding which may help when I move to a new role.

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.)

There are many activities to join in. We have many social events after work and I am part of the events team who organises them. There are many other groups to be a part of too depending on your interests.

9/10
