Finance Degree Apprentice Review

I work in a cost accounting role dealing with a range of day to day and month end work. I make contact with a range of business partners to acquire information and use that data to provide valuable insight. I also am a Pulse Champion and in TIC

My excel skills, networking skills and professional analytical skills have massively increased as I often use them now. I find I can now easily reach out to people when I need assistance or just to make friends.

I really enjoy my job and more importantly the people I work with which makes me excited to keep working

The course is set out and structured so that we know when and what to study, initially I struggled with getting enough work but now a few months in it has picked up a lot

Any time I am struggling with anything I can go to a range of people for help. I also have multiple set out 1 to 1s with my team leader so I am very supported. The study side of it feels a little less supported

The training provider was very good but not perfect, there were some difficulties in getting onboarded and now that we have completed our 2 in person sections the rest are online

It has made me feel much more confident and understanding in the tasks I am doing the the terminology that is used throughout the company as before I wasn't sure of a lot of things

Yes, there are a huge range of social events, from sports to go karting to dance. There is also professional opportunities such as recurring social events and corporate as well as TIC and Pulse Champion network

Yes

I am really happy in my job and I am learning all the time
