Project Management Degree Apprentice Review

I am currently 6 months into a 12 month placement. From day to day, I carry out tasks - these can be things my placement manager has set out or day to day tasks I deal with.

Leadership, developing people, communication.

I really enjoy my placement and the balance between uni and placement is good. Sometimes I feel like I do not have enough work-life balance due to working a full week and having one day for uni studies.

I would say the BAE side of the apprenticeship is structured and planned, university side - the teachers are saying they are learning alongside us.

There is constant support from my employer.

We are often told to go off and learn for ourselves - which I understand from a university perspective is normal as this is what university is, but a little bit of guidance would help. Lecturers tell you one thing and then you get marked differently.

I have definitely started noticing my placement information becomes apparent in university. I would say the things I learn in placement help more with university as I am actually doing the job, but I have not learnt things in university yet which have helped with my placement.

STEM, Stretch Assignments really help with development and networking. Functional lead meetings help with staying in contact with my cohort.

Yes

There are so many opportunities at BAE and it is an amazing company to work for, they are constantly pushing you to do your best and offering you things to develop. There are so many different job roles and exciting opportunities/avenues.
