Auditing banking and capital market clients both in the UK and globally.
Yes, I have developed soft skills such as teamwork, communication and leadership. I have also learnt how to use various technology applications specific to my job role.
There are times where I enjoy the programme more than others. It can be challenging performing my role for work and revising/studying for exams.
Not very in my personal experience. I have had to change counsellors numerous times, also the apprenticeship team and the resourcing team do not communicate with each other. This makes it hard as a learner to balance conflicting needs.
Some teams and employees offer more support than others. Overall I do believe the firm should provide more support to their employees especially apprentice's given that this will be their first full-time job in most cases.
I am very happy with my training provider. They are available during all hours and often respond quickly to any questions. The tutors are friendly and very knowledgeable.
Some areas of my qualification are used in my day-today role more than others. Learning topics such as accounting, financial reporting, audit and assurance are all very helpful to role and help me understand the work in more detail.
There are several networks such as the Musilm and Women's network. Most teams are quite sociable as well and often organise events for everyone to attend. My sub-service line also offer several events to get involved in
Yes
EY are one of the BIG 4 and are quite prestige firm. Working there has increased my confidence and other soft skills. I deal with global clients on a day to day basis which is quite interesting.
Research the company and understand the ethos of EY. Be confident and be your true self.
