L6 Project Management Apprentice Review

L6 Project Management Apprentice - consists of a variety of projects and tasks from events management, mapping processes, stakeholder management, communications etc. I work on a wide variety of different projects offering great experiences and development opportunities. The work I do is useful for the company and our wider ambitions, so this helps me feel part of the company

Loads!! Honestly I have learnt and developed so many key skills in the 20ish months I have been here. From basic skills such as different software's, to communication skills. The apprenticeship has been a great way of gaining experience and continuous development of my skills in lots of different aspects

I enjoy the apprenticeship a lot - I enjoy the work I do, this is useful, empowering and I feel like the work I do makes a difference. I am given responsibilites and the projects I work on are varied. The people around me are great, and I'm enjoying every second

My programme is very well structed. I have a set study day where I complete the study side of my apprenticeship. Alongside this, I work in my normal teams. I feel that the structure is good which helps my development

Personally, I receive a lot of support. The team I work in focuses on apprenticeships so I am in a position where I have lots of support if needed. Besides this, I have regular catch ups with managers/ project teams to help me and them with work we do.

Not as much support from my training provider. Support is there, however not as obvious or hands on as it could be. I feel like the training provider could do more to help/ guide us when writing assignments and completing assessments

My qualification does somewhat make a difference and it allows to apply some theory into my job, however for the majority of work, I do not really apply that much work from my qualification into my day to day job. But, saying this, I think my job helps me to understand my academic learning better.

Yes, lots of opportunities. We have lots of staff networks which people can join, and a high number of other apprentices up and down the country. This means socials/ networking are frequent which creates a good working environment

Yes

Genuinely a great place to work - good culture, staff are down to earth and friendly/ approachable which is nice for new joiners. Work is interesting and varied

Be yourself - we are looking for your personality and what you're like as a person just as much as your skills/ qualifications, especially at apprenticeship level Try to draw upon transferable skills and real life examples to make you stand out in the application process
