Project Management Degree Apprentice Review

My role requires me to manage resource, assist supply chain in procurement by raising requisitions, report on programme progress, ensure processes are being followed, manage sharepoint sites assist in LCM preparation to ensure programme goals are achieved. All of this whilst studying my degree

I have really developed my excel skills, understanding how to write formulas and produce tables to help provide visuals for programme data. I have developed my understanding of the governance processes when holding an LCM review. I have learned how to use new software.

My programme is difficult as it requires you to manage a full time job in parallel to completing all university modules, however it provides you with real word experience which is a necessity. I enjoy it but it is mentally draining and very demanding however you always have support where it is needed.

Reviews are held every 12 weeks to monitor progress and group reviews are help in those gaps where concerns can be addressed and apprentices can help one another. It is very well organised, however placements are not communicated to apprentices long enough before the suggested move date

I receive a lot of support, there are a lot of opportunities to voice concerns and you can always contact skills coaches when you need to.

I don't believe univeristy offer as much support however it is still offered on the days we attend, it is just harder to access as we're only there once a week

I don't feel like it helps me perform better in my role but it helps me understand why processes are needed in my role

There aren't many extra curricular activities only events around christmas or apprentices graduating

Yes

It is a supportive workplace and they pay for you to complete a degree and help you through it all
