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

Day-to-day can be different depending on the project and priority. I help manage and complete projects. My day-to-day consists of meetings and completing actions based on those meetings. I have the opportunity of leading and supporting other project managers which helps with my apprenticeship. I'm also able to speak to different members of different teams to understand more about different roles.

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

I have developed immensely since joining Natwest. I have been taught how to use different tools that i had no prior experience of using in the past. I have been supported to build on core skills. I am given enough time to continue to develop.

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

The program is mostly well-structured. The training provider has provided many support systems to help apprentices with their apprenticeship. However, there have been issues with access to programs and changes to assignments that would hinder the experience. It would be great if lecturers were more engaged.
