Project Management Degree Apprentice Review

Typically, I am learning about the ways to manage a project and have been given some responsibilities that are my own within my project so I will ensure that those are well maintained, such as chasing people for updates and looking after the schedule.

I have developed my skills in excel, resource management and stakeholder engagement

I love my job and the work I am doing

Overall it is well structured, however, there are some discrepancies surrounding policies and procedures between different sectors, so it can get confusing

I receive a lot of support from my employer, there are multiple avenues for me to go down if I need guidance

I learn new skills at University and these become transferable to my placement, often my manager aligns the modules in University to the work I am given on placement

I am involved in the STEM ambassadors programme and a part of the Inspiring Women's Network

Yes

It's a friendly working environment that understands that you are an apprentice, they try to be accommodating and give support. It's also a great way to get your degree and gain experience in the field
