Apprentice Project management Review

Going through different placements throughout the company and learning from those around you to get an understanding of the roles within project management, very engaging and members of your team are always happy to help you.

improved upon some IT skills with toolsets like Excel and have started learning new toolsets that I have never used before like primavera or Aveva ERM. also developing communication skills and how to run effective meetings with team members, aswell as learning how a project is managed.

I really enjoy this programme, I have learned so much and the company really look after me which is great. I'm learning a lot about project management and planning processes which are really interesting to me.

very well organised as its based on rotational placements over a period of two years whilst studying for a Qualification.

A lot of support as we have catch up meeting to make sure our objectives are being met and we have multiple contacts if we are struggling with anything, the early careers team at BAE are great.

we have revision sessions and workshops to teach us the course, learning how projects work through their life cycles and all the things that come with it (controls, governance etc) just wish we where taught more about question structure.

Definitely gives a greater understanding to the role I am in but as well as getting an understanding how each function and team ties together to make the project happen, as well as getting more of a "common sense" about how your role works.

STEM ambassador for BAE, I really enjoy getting to go to schools and interact with pupils to show them the wide range of apprenticeships BAE have to offer from school leavers to Graduate schemes... also in the apprentice council which is great for different functions getting together and socialising.

Yes

Honestly when I applied for this role I was looking into and applying for multiple apprenticeships with many different companies and everything from the range of apprenticeships, pay, career opportunities, qualifications, and benefits that BAe have to offer. no where else came close in my opinion

Don't worry about having the best grades or the most qualification (not saying these don't help, of course they do). be yourself and be sociable and likeable. I feel like BAE care a lot for how they think you interact with those around you and will you have a positive or negative impact on the teams you'll be going into.
