1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am a Project Management Apprentice within the Innovation Team at TGB (Toyota GB). My role involves the innovation of existing operations, products and services. My day-to-day involves the management of project schedules, communication plans, presentation documents and spreadsheets for relevant project pilot data.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Not only have I learned how to create the various documents required for a project, but I have improved my skill of creative thinking. I have also improved my presentation skills through training sessions and a voluntary forum to present to a select audience of managers.
