Junior management consultant Review

I am a junior management consulting and within my apprenticeship I am a project management organiser - I am responsible for the internal and external resourcing within the Home office account. This involves meeting regularly with project leads, discussing open demands and future demands as well as moving along recoursing processes.

I have learnt many new skills including soft skills such as effective communication and questioning, working as a team and leadership skills. I have also honed in on technical skills, picking up business analyst skills as well as project management skills. From an education apprenticeship perspective I have learned how to prioritise tasks and balance the duties of my apprenticeship to on the job work whilst maintaining the quality of both

I really enjoy my program. Apart from learning and working as well as getting a great salary from this, I have met amazing like minded people and really enjoy picking up new skills on the job, speaking to new people and progressing academically. I feel this apprenticeship has shaped me to become a better consultant for the company.

My programme is extremely well organised. We get to pick which day our education day will be ( mine is Friday ) and then work on the job all other days. On the project side, the team does not expect you to be perfect so you will have plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. And on the education side, everything that needs to be submitted is formatted into manageable chunks so that you can visually hit each milestone.

I receive a lot of support and feel supported in every aspect of my apprenticeship. My project support me really well as they train me up and hone in on skills that I could improve on and on the education side my foundation manager is always readily available to help and support me if anything comes up.

I receive a lot of support as my training provider is IBM, and that is also the company I work for. Support is always readily available and all I really need to do is ask/express myself .

My qualification really supports me in my role as there is online training to be completed which matches up with the roles I am doing for example a project management course whilst I was in my PM role so doing the training gave me the theory and understanding so that I could apply it in real life on my project

There are many societies at IBM for example cultural societies, networking events and even taking part in great British bake off which was fun. There are always events happening and I always try to join when I have any free time

Yes

I would definately recommend IBM to a friend as there is limitless opportunity especially in consulting and it is super easy to flex roles so that you can grow skills in different spaces. The company culture is great too and everyone there is very nice

Be yourself in the interview as you can also see if you would be a good fit
