Working closely with internal stakeholders to develop a cyber security architecture and strategy. I also help with project design and delivery.

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

So far in my apprenticeship I have learned all about being self-aware. This has been really useful in my day-to-day role. Understanding my strengths and weaknesses and where I need to look to improve has been insightful.

I very much enjoy the programme. Both ASOS and Future Talent Learning have offered a seamless experience so far, with all the required and necessary support to learn.

It's very well organised. I've been impressed with the structure and all the support available to learners.

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

I receive all the support I require. I've worked with my line manager to block out study time, I'm supported by the internal learning team who run the programme and have a community related to the apprenticeship which I am able to lean on.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

While I haven't required much support so far, the opportunity is always there. Regular drop-in sessions are available with my dedicated coach should I need it.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It keeps me aware of how I interact with others and how I present myself. I am looking forward to future modules, which will assist me even further.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

ASOS provides regular social activities within the apprenticeship community as well as additional learning events through our regular 'ASOS Develops' events.
