Business Support Apprentice Review

Rotated around several different areas of the business (including: Project Management, Programme Management Office, and Contract Management).

Skills developed include communication, stakeholder management, business finance, negotiation, presentation skills, managing & leading people, project management.

I have enjoyed rotating around different areas of the business and experiencing a wide range of roles. This has allowed me to gain a wide range of skills, and work with a range of stakeholders.

My scheme has been structured in to four 12 month rotations. I have 20% study time each week which is designated for my university studies. Overall it has been well structured.

I have been supported over the course of my rotations with understanding and performing the role. I have also been supported with my studies and research for QA when needed.
