Project management degree apprentice Review

I am a project management degree apprentice and my role involves supporting PM activities within my placement. You move placement each year so will experience different parts of the business and so will gain a variety of skills through the scheme.

I have learnt a lot since starting in September. I’ve currently been here 6 months and already feel like I am so much more knowledgeable on project management.

I really enjoy my programme, everyone is really friendly and there are loads of opportunities to get to know other apprentices. The only downside I would mention is not working with many other apprentices (can range from 0 to 2/3) but you still have a chance to meet everyone!

Well organised and structured.

There is loads of support when you’re part of the scheme. So many people you can speak to as well as getting support from your peers.

There are mentors to help towards University work both at work and university.

I feel like I really helps me to get context behind what I’m doing in the workplace and I have a much better understanding.

There are loads! I’ve personally been involved in the APM challenge (where you make your own project from start to finish with your chosen team) it’s good fun and really beneficial, especially when you first start.

Yes

Because I feel I have learnt a lot in such a short space of time. As well as being able to learn, get paid and get a degree I think there are no faults. The majority of people also secure an exit role by the end.

Research into the business and feed this into your applications/interviews. Go over your answers to possible questions and relax because everyone is really lovely and supportive.
