Project Management Degree Apprentice Review

Each day tends to be different, but tasks I usually complete include talking to suppliers, running meetings and giving presentations on project updates.

Yes many, such as leadership, collaboration and teamwork. As well as practical skills like stakeholder management and contracting work.

I think that the scheme I am on isn't very streamlined.

Similar to my previous answer, I do not think the scheme I am on has been streamlined and there are new issues that arise monthly, with University and work.

I think the support I get from my employer varies, and if I want support I need to go and find it when I think it should always be available to me.

I think the support I receive from the University of Cumbria is very poor. Assignment briefings are always changed and there is a clear misalignment within the teaching team.

I don't think that the degree I am getting is contributing much to my work. Most of my learning is on the job as the way the university teach is not in the same format as the BAE Systems process.

Yes, there are many social events running across all of the sites in the south. As well as a big annual Early careers Networking Event.

Yes

I think that the qualifications I will obtain at the end of my scheme are very good, I just don't think they are important to my work. I also think BAE Systems is a good company to work for, and after my early careers scheme I expect my experience to improve.

Research the company before doing an interview and link to as much first hand experience you have.If you are applying for a project management/logistics role, do some learning around engineering as the work is very technical.
