Project Management Apprentice Review

On a day to day basis, I am responsible for an extensive amount of communication with external and internal stakeholders and am working toward setting up new communication systems by developing existing software use.

Software Skills: MSP,Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Canvas. Professional Skills: Using professional language, arranging meetings and setting agendas, communicating with stakeholders effectively and delivering negative information.

I significantly enjoy my programme as I feel I am constantly developing as an individual throughout my programme.

Apprentices have received some issues with their placements, having managers that are too busy to provide appropriate training.

I receive a significant amount of support having 1:1 sessions with my manager and receiving learning reviews every three months to ensure i am comfortable in my placement as progressing in my abilities.

Not a large extent of support in the transition between learning how to perform in a college environment into a university environment.

It significantly helps me understand the concepts that I am confronted with on a daily basis, and am able to use more profound and academic language as a result.

I get involved in a series of stretch project that involve presenting and travel so I can develop my capacity of leadership. While there is not a large number of social activities, there are many development opportunities.

Yes

You recieve a great deal from this apprentiship, with it being a great alternative to university, gaining both professional and academic skills at once, learning a significant amount in a short space of time, making this an amazing opportunity.

Ensure to be yourself and enjoy the process. Don't attempt to use language that you think the individuals interviewing you might want. They want to gain an understanding of who you are as a person.
