Junior solution architect Review

My role is to work on projects specifically cloud migration projects as a solutjons architect attending daily team and client meetings. I also complete some techincal work which is part of my role to assist mr in my role as a solutions architect balancing this with my uni work and assignemnets

I have learned many new skills and grown my existing skills. During my time at cap they have made it a priority to upskill in many areas and train for oursekves to further our skillset and careers. We have a training pathway to compete to ensure our sold are up to date

I enjoy the daily work aspects of the programme as usual. The university side of the apprenticeship can be a little bit boring at times and the assignments vague causing it to be difficult for the wrong reasons. The pebblepad assignments on top of all the work are also useless

Having one session a week is a good structure and assignments being spaced out works quite well to help balance the workload from uni and from the work pace. I think sind off the modules are a but vague in terns of how they apply to our job role. D

I receive a lot of support from my emploer almost two days a week to focus on uni and uni work along with our own training or training provuded in the training pathway set out by cap, either the soft skills pathway or the technical skills pathway

I have a skills coach but i have not yet reached out to him to help with my qualifications as i think im too early in the process to start on that, i will reach out when i think its necessary for me to do so, although the organisation qa havent been very efficient durimg the start of my journey

I think this is a very difficult question as the things we learn in uni have to apply many people and everyone role is different. For my role i think it doesn't apply right now but could maybe be applied in the future due to the seniority of my role compared to the knowledge learnt at uni

There are many activities to get involved in at work although i don't get involved in many of them dur to the fact that i live all the way in Leicester and the office is a 140 mile round trip so i dont attend many events at the office

Yes

Its a very good workplace and a company who provides great opportunities in roles and in learning and development and is also fun at the same time, also everyone is really friendly and easy to work with so i think it's a great place to start your career. A

I think one piece of advice that i would give to someone joining cap as new starter is to not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone as failure is good and we can only grow as individuals when we are uncomfortable. Also dont ve afraid to ask for help, it will always be given
