Analytics and Data Science Graduate Review

I have the opportunity to work across a variety of teams across TUI, from Airline Data Science to Commercial Analytics and beyond. Day-to-day really depends on the team, I could be making Tableau dashboards for stakeholders to visualise data, or I could be training machine learning models.

Yes, I have increased my knowledge in production level data science pipelines and machine learning, learnt about linear programming for optimisation problems, and learnt how to change the colour of a cell in a tableau table.

I very much enjoyed the first 6 months in my first team, and haven't much enjoyed the last month in my new team which is very different. The apprenticeship covers a WIDE range of roles, so you might get something you enjoy, and you might not.

Pretty well organised, they have been doing it for a while so they seem to know what they're doing. Exeter are not quite as organised as TUI but they won't be running it from next year anyway so that is kind of irrelevant.

I am given the time off that I need to study and additional learning resources such as Udemy license and a budget for books/courses. So overall that has been very good so far.

A lot, there are systems in place to communicate directly with lecturers, plenty of resources, and an assigned academic mentor to help with the whole process. But again, they're not running it next year so . . .

In the data science related roles, it will be very helpful, in the dashboards and analytics roles not so much.

Yeah there are quite a lot I think, I haven't really taken part though.

Yes

It's a good stepping stone to get a free MSc and gain work experience to be able to get a better job in the future.

It's fun, it's flexible, there is a lot of space given to learn and grow. Overall, it's been a good experience and I hope I continue to learn exciting things and work on impactful projects.
