Project Management Degree Apprentice Review

I am a first year Project Management apprentice. My day-to-day work revolves around organising tasks and reporting on progress within my allocated area of responsibility. I attend Uni one day per week.

I have learnt so much, I cannot begin to describe! From a technical point of how aircraft are built, the technicalities of the project and the skills of project management.

I have enjoyed my programme thoroughly and I am very proud and grateful to have been given this opportunity. BAE invest a lot time and money into their apprentices and it really shows.

The apprenticeship is very well structured and organised. The placements can vary however the apprenticeship team are always there to support you.

The early careers team are very supportive and would feel very comfortable discussing any issues I had with them. The placement team have also been fantastic.

An adequate amount of support. I haven't felt the need to ask for any support from them at this stage. The first year of Uni is quite easy going.

The qualification definitely helps. The ramp up in knowledge you get from placement quickly outweighs what you get from Uni but that due to the steep learning curve.

There are a lot of work related days/sessions you can get involved with. I'm not sure of any sporting events however I'm sure if I looked into it, I would find some.

Yes

Excellent career prospects, opportunities to travel, fantastic pay and benefits, good home/work life balance.

PREPARE! Think about the role you are applying for, do some research and make sure you can demonstrate the competencies in the interview.
