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

Managing a project from beginning to start, ensuring all risks have been calculated and procedures are explored and I must communicate with stakeholders about the project. I also work with data analysis, transforming data sheets to make into a visual or tool.

Yes definitely, my people skills have improved and my ability to work/analyse data.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The programme is very flexible for those who need it. Its also very good in providing a positive introduction to the industry for those with little/ no prior experience.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is very well structured. There are 3 job rotations to allow you to demonstrate your techniques across the supply chain, rather than remaining in the same role.
