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

I complete 6-month rotations around different business areas of my own choice. Usually I am given a specific job role where I have my own responsibilities and deliver my own projects.

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

I am continuously learning new skills every single day, not just in the marketing area. The opportunity to rotate around different business areas allows me to develop skills for niche areas.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I absolutely love it, I have the opportunity to learn on the job and work on real-life projects as well as applying the knowledge which I learn at University to the work environment.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well organised, we are given business mentors who help guide us throughout the 4 year scheme as well as 'buddy's' who are older DA's who offer similar support. We have so much support around us. The programme is structured so that we complete 6 month rotations in different teams.

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

Incredible amounts! I am always having regular check in-s with my line manager, early careers team, business mentor and degree apprentice buddy!

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

Lots of support, I am given one day a week for study which gives me a sufficient amount of time to complete my university work.

10/10

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

I feel that I learn so much knowledge at university which is all completely relevant to my job role, allowing me to apply what I have learnt to real-life projects.

10/10

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.)

We have a number of internal networks, which employees can get involved in. As a DA community, we have a social football team where DA's can play once a week together, and we often organise 'community days' where we spend a day volunteering or even just a get together.
