Project Manager Apprenticeship Review

I am currently in a PMO pacement as part of my Project Management Higher Apprenticeship. My day-to-day duties include Project planning, stakeholder engagement and general PMO duties.

Yes. Every day, I am learning more and more about the Change Management environment. PMO has given me the opportunity to see all aspects of the project environment and has no doubt given me a solid foundation to work on for the remainder of my apprenticeship.

I enjoy working on my programme and with the people within it. Everyone has embraced me as part of the team and are eager to help me progress.

Lloyds Banking Group have mad me very welcome so far in my apprenticeship. There is various support ethods online to help and my Line Manager is in constant contact if needed.

My programme is a regulatory programme and as such is very well structured. Everyone involved knows their roles and responsibility.

I have an assigned task manager who I work very closely with every day. The level of training so far has been exemplary and the ongoing support of other colleagues is always available.

During induction to the company, methods of different kinds of support i.e. HR were outlined and are easily accessible.

The salary packet - at the moment - meets my living costs. As my living situation evolves i.e. buying a house etc, my salary should increase - depending on personal performance

Yes. There is always charity work available and the skills learned as part of the Project Management apprenticeship can be incorporated in aspects of everyday life.

Yes

The opportunities in Lloyds Banking Group are vast and hard work is very much rewarded.

The apprenticeship hiring process was long and quite challenging. I would advise others to do their homework and know the role they are applying for. As for the apprenticeship itself, it is not for the light-hearted and they should be ready for some hard work.
