Graduate Planner Review

Undertaking planning appraisals, managing planning applications, drafting and submitting representations to promote sites for development, project management, managing technical consultants.

I have learnt a great variety of skills on the job, including planning policy/legislation knowledge, project management and report writing,

I have thoroughly enjoyed the on-the-job training I have received, but was overall less impressed by the quality of the degree from the training provider.

well-structured overall

Lots of support

Limited support- lecturers often did not reply to emails, would change assignment briefs at the last minute, and tended to lack practical real-world experience in my industry

my qualification has not been that relevant to my role - everything i have learned which is most relevant has been whilst on the job

Lots of networking opportunities and we are always encouraged to take part in these.

Yes

Good place to work, good culture, lots of support and training, flat team structure and friendly colleagues!

Be yourself, showcase your talents, show a willingness to learn and develop
