Software Engineer Apprentice Review

In my role I work on software, which includes building and maintaining software, testing software, identifying and correcting bugs.

I have learnt a lot in my apprenticeship so far, I have learnt how to code using Python, which includes writing, testing and maintaining code, version control with GitHub, meeting company requirements, problem solving and time management to meet deadlines.

I thoroughly enjoy the apprenticeship I am on, it is interesting and I am continously learning.

The apprenticeship is very organised and structured. The programme has clear criteria to meet in portfolio projects throughout the programme and to work towards the end point assessment to ensure knowledge is met and I am continuing to learn.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. They know which knowledge, skills and behaviours that I need to meet in order to meet the criteria to pass my apprenticeship and they are great at supporting me to help to meet this criteria.

My training provider provides a lot of support when working towards my qualifications, they provide regular catch ups to ensure I am staying on track, they provide feedback when I have submitted portfolio projects to ensure my work is meeting the criteria and is a high standard.

I am still working towards my qualification, however I feel this will help me to perform better in my role as I have learned a lot of the knowledge I use in my role through working towards my qualification and this has allowed me to become more involved in my team.

There have been social activities in work to get involved with, there has been a trip out for food with colleagues in my office location, we also travelled to London to meet more colleagues in the platform and my team and had a social event in London.

Lloyds Banking Group is a great place to work, they provide a lot of opportunities and support for training.

Just go for it! You won't regret joining Lloyds Banking Group, it is an inclusive and friendly place to work.
