Project Management Degree Apprentice Review

I manage projects within the Ops function. This involves tracking and presenting metrics as well as contacting stakeholders to better current processes. It also involves looking into the SQEPness of the workforce and ensuring everyone is appropriately trained.

Yes, I have learned a lot of skills relating to understanding and creating metrics. I have also learned how to better communicate with stakeholders which has also helped develop my confidence.

I have enjoyed some placements more than others. I thoroughly enjoy my current placement although some others have been more boring and less engaging.

Each stage of my apprenticeship has been clearly laid out I have plenty of time to complete each element. However there are some aspects that I feel arent communicated to us or explained fully until nearer the time.

If I have any issues I feel as though I can go to a variety of people. I feel like my needs are always accounted for.

I can reach out for help with anything if needed, however some modules/tutors have been better and more engaging than others.

I have been able to apply some of my learning into the workplace but as an organisation, the work is generally too specific to one area of PM to apply everything.

There are many activities that involve reaching out to younger kids in school to encourage them to join the business but this is something that is done within working time. There are often networking events on. There are little to no sports teams or social activities.

Yes

I feel as though the business is very caring towards their employees and there is a lot of support there to help you if you need it. It also provides a good qualification that can be taken outside of the business and with good pay.

Dive into as many projects as you can, try and integrate yourself into the team as much as possible.
