data analyst Review

my day to day role involves providing dashboards on adobe analytics to stakeholders which measure certain metrics on our commercial banking pages allowing me to map a customer journey to see if other teams are hitting their goals. i support in decisions by providing data to show other people the effect of their work

during my apprenticeship time and job role i have learnt to communicate professionaly with others, how to present my findings and information in a concise format and technically i have learnt adobe analytics, microsoft excel , a bit of power BI , SQL , R. My strongest one out of all of these are excel as this is the foundation of my work

the apprentice program isnt a bad programme and the content was generally ok, however i feel like the structure of the project could have been structured better in terms of some units could have been done earlier, he lectures were very condensed and not spread at all making the learning much harder

the structure is the wors thing about this proramme it isnt bad but it could be improved in a lot of ways. one of my main points is the lecture structure as it happens rarley and happens for a week straight of 9-5 which is a really taxing thing on me

my employer has giving me adequate and even more support in terms with time, if i needed any extra time or needed to manage my apprentice split time it could be adjusted which was good for me allowing me the flexiibility to work more with extra time so not needing to worry about that was good

my DLC was a very good supporting person and he has offered to help me durng the end times of my apprenticeship which is also very good aswell, so i have the comfort of not needing to worryto much about asking questions or reaching out to him if i have an issue

my training provider has provided me with a variety of training which isn't used to my current job role at NatWest but as a data analyst can be seen as useful but I haven't encountered these situations that much yet, but learning excel has helped me a lot in approaching tasks in my job role

there arent a lot of stuff availible for apprentices or generally at the workplace not sure why but we do have team meetups and tuff at london and bristol but as a young apprentice i wish they would have a better structure as it wouldve made me comfortable socialising in the workplace

Yes

i think getting an apprenticeship at natwest isnt a bad thing and the training rovided in both sections can be very useful to propser in your career gowever i feel like i had the bad end of it in terms of social interactions and training structure etc but they are working on these problems

if you want to apply at natwest make sure to learn about your CPC's as you can base your answers and approaches to these behaviours and itll help you with any job role in the future as it puts certains actions and behaviours in segments easier for you to understand
