Meet Spencer, IT Graduate with ABP UK

Explore what Spencer does as an IT Graduate and see why he loves working with Youth Friendly Employer ABP.

What are your qualifications and where did you study?

I graduated in 2017 with a first class degree in Business Information Technology from Birmingham City University.

What’s an average day for an IT Graduate?

The day to day role of a Graduate Business Systems Analyst can vary depending on the current initiatives.

I have personally been exposed to a number of important projects that have helped me understand and analyse key processes of the business.

Working within the Business Systems team, I am responsible for working on the coordination of projects whilst also providing assistance in the delivery of work packages.

Eventually, my role will evolve into focusing on continuous improvement once key initiatives have been implemented.

What are you career aspirations and how is ABP helping you work towards your future career goals?

ABP have invested in my development from the beginning.

The various challenges, courses, and examinations I have been booked for will provide me with the skills to become a successful Business Analyst.
