Product Manager Review

I have just been promoted to a Product Manager, so this is a very new experience.

I learned numerous new skills and developed existing throughout my time on my degree apprenticeship. Various soft skills in terms of presenting, collaboration etc. as well as new skills in modules where the content wasn't something I had done before.

I have enjoyed the process of the degree apprenticeship, my skills coach from QA was also really good. I do feel that QAs lack of organisation caused unnecessary issues, including missed sessions and a lack of good quality teaching. This was a constant frustration throughout the degree.

Poorly. Whilst my skills coach was excellent, he was the one good thing throughout. There were numerous issues with poor quality tutors, and poor learning materials.

Participation was provided from some of my managers during the programme, and I was provided the flexibility to study and attend workshops.

Some, but only when seeking it directly, and then only some of the tutors were helpful. My skills coach was fantastic.

A lot, in that its given me exposure and understanding for a much wider breadth of knowledge in digital technology, and I will use all of it in my new role and beyond.

Yes, there are events, teams in various different pursuits, a choir too.

Yes

There are a lot of opportunities, good benefits and excellent people here.

Persevere, I didn't get a role on my first try. I'm very glad I kept going, applied and improved myself in between, studying other courses in preparation.
