I work on the technical side of projects, giving the details of what functionality needs to be added. Furthermore, I act as a consultant when giving pricing estimates for these projects. I also act as a release manager which is outside of my role description
I have learnt many skills such as effectively communicating in a formal setting as well as holding and running meetings. Also, I have gained confidence and increased my knowledge in the IT sector.
The programme at Vodafone is effective and in-depth. The team look after the best interests of the learner and make sure they're not overwhelmed. They attempt to get the learner involved at all times.
The organization of the programme is very in-depth and covers most things. The company offer you as much time as you need to complete apprenticeship work and also provide mentors to assist with your learning
I receive as much support as I could ask from the company, manager, apprenticeship lead and mentors that I am assigned.
The training provider is awful. The online lectures are non-engaging and provide little support. I feel alone when doing my degree. The skills coach however has tried his best to resurrect this
Vodafone processes are quite different from standard processes that you are taught about, however the qualification does help to an extent.
There are a variety of groups at Vodafone from sports teams to the best LGBTQ+ soceity of any company in the UK and held it's own pride march. Vodafone are keen at promoting extra curricular activities.
Yes
They are the nearest 'google-esque' company that the UK has to offer.
Making yourself visible and networking is hugely important. Also being proactive is a close second in importance.
