HR Apprentice Review

The work can vary greatly depending on the placement (of which there are usually lots of options). For me, this has ranged from change management, trade union governance and work surrounding pay and benefits.

Constant opportunities to develop new skills and safely try new things. Definitely have improved my excel, presentation, stakeholder management and organisational skills while on this scheme.

I couldn’t ask for a better experience as an apprentice at TfL, however the education provider is fairly underwhelming.

There’s a clear structure to the programme, 3 months in high volume HR Services, 3 specialist placements and 2 Business Partnering placements

Consistently received high quality support throughout the scheme in the form of my sponsor, placement managers and other colleagues.

Support has varied and depended on the tutor.

Lots of the resources from my qualification are useful and can definitely be utilised in my work.

Plenty of activities, lots of sports groups, colleague network groups (LGBT+, Women, Race, Religious). No shortage of professional networking events either (monthly speed mentoring, events, mentorship scheme).

Yes

Fantastic company to work that is involved in so many important pieces of work across London. A very comprehensive and valuable scheme.

Ensure you understand the Mayor’s strategy and how that plays into TfL’s aims. Make sure you know our corporate values and social mission.
