Information Management Degree Apprentice Review

My role involves lots of communication with different business stakeholders, like other employees and suppliers, to understand different requirements for business cases and needs. Additionally, I contribute to the outreach programme where we visit schools and advertise our programmes.

I have learnt a lot of communication skills, e.g. gathering requirements, understanding roles and processes, and requesting information from others. Additionally, I have gained a lot of confidence when talking to others as well as in my own abilities.

Very much!! Everyday is different and I learn a lot :)

The IM Degree Apprenticeship is very well structured as our placements for the first year are planned out and decided at the very beginning. This meant that we always knew what was going on and knew where to go if we needed anything.

If we ever need anything, there is always people around who will be able to help and support.

So far our experience with our training provider has been quite good. We have learnt a lot of softer skills, like presentation making and delivery, and public speaking. If we need support from the lecturers or our coaches, they are always at the other end of a message.

The soft skills we have learnt from our training provider has helped me become more confident in the work place in terms of communication and confidence.

I am currently part of the Women in Tech initiative where we are talking steps to increase the intake of women to our company. Additionally, we have an Outreach programme where we can promote our programmes to schools and universities

Yes

Everyday is exciting and there is constant support and encouragement from everyone here. There are always learning opportunities and I am pushed out of my comfort zone a lot

Don't be afraid to showcase your skills and personality when applying!
