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

    • I am sponsored through university, so I just complete university work, however during the summer we had a summer placement which involved learning agile development, creating scrum sessions, meeting and working with new teams and implementing a ticket tracking system to measure the workflow of the team

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I very much enjoy it.. knowing I have job security at the end of the placement is amazing and I’ve met some really nice people through it! It feels like I am part of a family

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Unlike other digital apprenticeships we managed to get a summer placement virtually which is down to the well structured placenta.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • We get meetings every term and during the placement we received a lot of support. It would be nice to have a bit more communication such as a chat room that we can all speak on

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Quite a lot however we learn a lot about coding and I don’t see myself doing coding in the long run at Vodafone

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • We never got the chance to experience these due to COVID-19

    5/10
