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

    • I am a software engineer. I perform data integration and analysis as a consultant. Internally, I must update my timesheet and expenses claims. Currently I have no external interactions but later on in my apprenticeship I will be meeting clients.

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

    • I have developed my skills in programming heavily. I have become more comfortable when interacting in a professional environment. I have also been sent on a number of more specialised training courses to train me in the use of specific software solutions.
