Data Analyst Apprentice Review

My role involves daily interactions with the other members of my team. We manage data quality across finance and this involves performing daily checks on logged issues and interactions with the wider team to discuss remediation actions and get updates on action progress. We have been developing a new dashboard to better monitor our key measures.

I’ve developed loads of existing skills as well as learning a ton of new ones. Most of them software based. I’m now using things like Power BI and SQL on a regular basis.

I love it! My workplace is a fantastic environment, my colleagues are ace, they are all very supportive and nurturing in their approach to working with an apprentice. I also feel like there will be some fantastic opportunity to progress at the end of the program.

Really good. The only uncertainties at the moment are exactly what the end of the program looks like and how progression works, but they are minor details that will almost certainly work themselves out in a few months time.

As much as I need. My line manager supports me really well as well as having another member of my team as a one-to-one mentor. Getting time for my off the job training is generally fairly straightforward as well.

My mentor firebrand provides quality, timely, feedback, as well as insight and knowledge to support me on my apprenticeship journey, really very good.

On the whole, it works really well. The only minor challenge is working for such a large organisation. It just means you have to go looking for some of the opportunities in the workplace to support the learning.

As an organisation, we really excel here. There are loads and loads of opportunities to get involved in things. I’ve personally been involved in quite a few of the opportunities to support new apprentices, I’m always keen to talk about my experiences.

Yes

Great place to work, fantastic opportunities, positive, work, environment, modern workplace, great culture, and really dedicated to supporting apprentices.

Be yourself and do your research on our company values, think about what you bring as an individual to the team in light of that.
