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

On a day to day basis I generally answer queries from other colleagues and help solve access problem to software which is used within Finance. I also upload files to the systems for others to use the data from.

I feel valued

7/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

My programme hasn't been organised or structured at all. We had no formal induction straight away. Also managers and colleagues are unaware of the course and how much time it requires, making it hard to leave work for apprenticeship requirements

I received a good amount of support, I can always email her if I need help.

7/10

9. Would you recommend Lloyds Banking Group to a friend?

9b. Why?

The apprenticeship programme needs to be improved before they take on new employees as they need to understand what is required before hiring and not having any of the programme set up - as we didn't start our programme for at least 6 months and we had no contact regarding the programme.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lloyds Banking Group?

It a lot of work applying, as it has many stages - and finally an all day assessment. It seems a lot scarier than it is though, as everyone is really nice.
