2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, I feel a lot more knowledgeable as a whole with regards to HR. My conversations with stakeholders and peers are more informed too. I have also found out a lot more about my own organisation and where they benchmark alongside competitors.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy my programme, it is going well and at a pace I can manage. My trainer is very approachable and quick to reply to me when I email her.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is very structured. I do find that sometimes I could do with a break in between handing in one assignment and starting on the next as it is quite full on to prepare for the workshop when completing the previous assignment.
