Project Manager Trainee Review

I am a project manager apprentice, I primarily operate as a project professional, assisting in the management of projects for the UK Government. Its interactive, exciting projects that are unique to anywhere else in the industruy.

Soft Skills, IT Skills, as well as some core valued behaviours like collaboration, leadership, and inclusivity have all been really well developed here

I really enjoy it, as it lets me enjoy quite an exciting field and industry, a core functional role within that industry, and allows flexibility when I need it.

Its very well structured, both in terms of hierarchy and scheduling. They are constantly checking on on your development and have plenty of key ways to sort out development issues within apprentices.

I receive lots of support in my role from BAE, as they give me plenty of opportunities to grow and support me wherever I need it through ERGs

The university isnt the best provider of training, but due to the programme being in quite early development, they are constantly adapting the content and teaching style for whats best for us.

I think the qualifications I will gain will allow me to understand the project i work on not just to a practical level, but also to a theory based level.

There are a few sports teams, and a lot of networking events for specific special occasions, although there could be more.

Yes

Because I feel like with the person I am, university was never going to quite fit for me. I wanted job security and a challenge to fats track my career. I would recommend BAE as they do that extremely well here.

They don't expect technical knowledge, they want enthusiasm. Do your research, give in depth and engaged answers, ask questions, do everything you can to ensure they know how badly you want the job.
