Chartered Manager Degree Apprentice Review

Working with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to find the correct quality and price for project resources. Raising orders for projects to smoothly run and ensuring there is a smooth process for both supplier and customer.

I have developed my communication, problem solving and time management skills as I am in a position where I work closely with a lot of other teams. I have also learnt how to use new systems and software as well as enhancing my MS Office skills.

I enjoy the programme however my role is a bit monotonous and repetitive, which sometimes forces me to seek new learning opportunities myself, which are often unrelated to my role but still useful.

The programme is very structured with a clear schedule for workshops, webinars and deadlines of assignments. Module leaders for the university set clear expectations and communicate effectively which helps.

There is a lot of support, especially from line managers and mentors, who you can actively seek out depending on what roles/experience you are interested in. There are a lot of meetings for you to express concerns and find solutions to any issues.

There is a lot of support from the university as they provide a lot of points of contact e.g. module leaders, study coaches and a well-being team.

My role is not as aligned to my qualification as I would like, however the qualification itself is very useful as it provides a broad perspective of business and allows you to learn a lot.

There are a lot of social events, networking events and workshops for apprentices and grads. This is all due to a huge number of networks across the business with a place for everyone.

Yes

BT is a great place to work with a lot of support, development opportunities and networking events. There is a perfect balance of everything and you are encouraged to improve based on what you want.

Step outside your comfort zone and don't be afraid to ask questions as everyone is willing to help.
