Rich D. asked a question to Rosie M.
Furthermore, I would like to know how long it took you to become confident in this new skill that you learned and how you found the overall process.
Hi Rich - for all the technical skills you need for your role, you will receive training and support when you join. Depending on the software, this could take a few hours or a couple of weeks to learn, but there are loads of great resources and training materials to support you. For example, when I fist joined I had no coding experience, and within a couple of weeks I was using a low-code software tool to build workflows on a live project.
I found the quickest way to become confident was applying my knowledge to a real scenario, and seeing how my contribution supported the wider team. Now that I have finished the apprenticeship, I am still having to pick up new skills and technical capabilities to support my role and although this can seem daunting, I find asking questions the key to feeling more confident in my work. EY has a great support network in place (e.g. buddy, counsellor, manager), so you can always reach out if you have questions or need support.
That was really helpful and reassuring, thank you for your prompt reply!
