Software Engineer Apprentice Review

Daily - my role consists attending daily stands up, communicating any blockers I have, developing stories for different squads - learning on plural sight by watching videos and completing projects for my apprenticeship!

Yes! I have become alot more confident and honed in on different skills which has helped me. Time management was key for me and I manage my workload better by the use of the visual task boards.

I enjoy the learning aspect and also the people, other apprentice's are extremely helpful and collaborative in my team which has contributed to feeling great on the programme.

Very organised, we receive a set learning plan with e-learning material and I have attended 3 residentials so far, Software development fundamentals, Database fundaments and Javascript course. Final one will be cyber secure coder which I am looking forward too!

So much support from my line manager he is great and empathetic!! Really attentive and a great source of knowledge!

I have a monthly check in with my training mentor, who tells me if I am on target or not in regards to completeing my apprenticeship, he advises me on what I need to do to reach the next level.

I feel like my training programme so far has set the foundation for me in my role. I understand the theoretical aspect to my role before the rest which is great to have background knowledge

Yes! reebot local and reboot ressions have been a great way to meet like-minded individuals in the tech space! also attending hackathons has been a really fun seamless way into the introduction of coding!

Yes

Lloyds has brilliant values and ethos when it comes to looking after their employees!

Just keep an open mind and be ready to challenge yourself!
