My Programme is very well organised, having been provided with adequate training and support from day 1. I have regular meetings with my skills coach and regular catch up calls with my mentors and managers.
I receive plenty of support from my employer largely through guidance with issues i have through mentors and manager. Whenever i am stuck with new issues, the team are always happy to assist.
I receive a large amount of support in regards to my qualifications. I have a regular team call where i liase with my skills coach where we discuss timelines and the best use of revision time etc.
