  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I assist Client Advisors with their day to day work, I help to open new client accounts, I also help with the maintenance and updating of the accounts. No two days are the same, conducting background searches on individuals, handling and sending of documents to and from clients and their client advisors.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I began the course with a very bland understanding of the job role. I am now seeing the steps of how my work helps the business and that I do add value to my team. Tasks that seemed impossible to me at the start are now part of my daily routine. There were times that I needed help with some tasks, but now I am sometimes having to show people certain processes and how to follow through with some tasks.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • The most enjoyable part of the learning programme so far has been the hands on experience in the finance industry, no two days are the same and the things I learn in the classroom sessions are becoming more and more applicable in my day to day work . I feel like there is a constant safety net of support, not only from everybody at Fitch Learning, but in the work environment too. I am being treated as an adult and I am very appreciative of the freedom and respect that is being shown towards me
