Digital Apprentice Review

Day to day I work with the team in creating innovative solutions to client problems. This could be through building a dashboard, manipulating data, running a workshop, market research etc. I have a catchup at least once a week with the people I'm working with were we discuss progress and next steps

Since joining EY I have worked in different areas which has given me access to many different skill sets. The skill you develop quickest is communication, you will be talking and interacting with people on a daily bases whether its a client or someone internal. I have developed a number of other technical skills using data transformations along with design and presentation skills.

I really enjoy the program and think it is a great opportunity that everyone should take if they get the chance. It is a job that you won't mind getting up in the morning for as everyday comes with different challenges. I would highly recommend it as if you don't enjoy it then there is no point doing it.

My program is very well structured as we are given days out of the working week to spend time working on our studies. Everyone in the team are aware of the programme and the commitments we have and therefore are conscious when assigning work loads as they know what you have on your plate.

EY provide a large amount of support when going through the process, we have councillors who help us progress through our time at EY who you can share your goals and aspirations with. Along with this there are a variety of different sources to help support you on nearly anything!

The training provider QA supports us threw a site called canvas, all our work is assigned on there along with weekly Webex meeting to discuss course content and problems we may be having. We also have workshops which are classroom based learning where we get some direct help from a tutor

I feel the qualification helps me do better in my role as the content links in with my day to day work. Not only this but learning about something is one thing but when you then have the workspace to apply these skills it really helps you get the most out of it.

Yes, there is lots and lots of different clubs you can join at EY. These go from sports clubs (football, hockey, rugby) to social clubs and societies where it is easy to find people with similar interests to you. Many teams also go out together in the week for a social.

Yes

EY is a great place to work, not only does it provide great support when trying to reach your career goals, it also has a great culture of people were everyone is willing to help each other out which makes it a great place to work. It has a good atmosphere in the office.

The main bit of advice I would give people applying to EY is to stand out and try your hardest to be yourself. EY is all about the people so be enthusiastic and talk to as many people as possible! Don't be scared to ask questions as this shows you care.
