1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

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

Yes I have, I have learnt how to use MSSQL and Qlik Sense. I had some experience with Power BI before, and using Qlik has been easier with that prerequisite

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy learning and developing my skills. I am not the biggest fan of coding and the more technical side of things but my program manager has been great in finding me work that can help develop my soft skills while still developing my interest and love for technology.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Immense support! My manager is aware I am studying while learning, this means that when I am away once a week to study, that is respected. Also if I need some extra time to finish an assignment they are supportive of me taking some extra time.
