Technology Degree Apprentice Review

Start at around 9am. Need to work a minimum of 7.5hrs Monday to Friday. First thing I do is check my calendar and see if there are any meetings I have to attend. The rest of the day I focus on client work (google slides, power bi dashboards etc)

Learnt lots of new technology skills, eg: Python, SQL, Power Bi, Alteryx, Excel formulas, etc. And this was just in a couple of months. Also learnt how to improve our presentation skills and how to act professional.

I enjoy it very much. The work is very interesting and I've learnt a lot on the job. Everyone around me is very friendly so we've got a great support system around us if needed.

They give us support when needed. They make sure we don't rely on them too much which is very helpful as it increases our independency. The Ada College course is well structured as it prepares us for the practical skills potentially needed when you're in the office.

A lot. Everyone is provided with a buddy and career coach, who are constantly there for support when needed. All you have to do is message them on google chat asking if they're free to chat/talk and they usually are.

The people at Ada College are very easy to contact if support is needed from them. They do surveys quite often to make sure we all feel as though we're being supported the way we should.

It helps a lot as we have learnt the technical side of what our roles require. They also do a lot of presentations which is good as it helps with our verbal communications and confidence.

every team hold socials after work often so that there are many networking opportunities. There are also communities you can join but aren't many physical activities, eg: sport teams etc.

Yes

Because it is a friendly place to work where everyone is willing to help and support each other as everyone has an attitude continuously better themselves.

Be yourself, ask questions when unsure and put yourself out there (go out of your comfort zone).
