Higher Business Apprentice Review

Title: Higher Business Apprentice The Scheme: 4 year rotational business apprenticeship, studying at the University of Hertfordshire for a BA Hons Business Studies Degree. 3 1/2 days spent on site and 1 1/2 days spent at Univerisity. During the 4 years we have the opportunity to work in Commercial, Project Management, Procurement, Sales, HR, Supply Chain, Communciations and many more, with 6-9 month placements.

Far more than I expected to, project management skills, professional skills, commercial awareness, negotiation skills, supplier and customer relationship management, communication skills and a huge growth in confidence.

Technologically advanced working environment, with a culture for learning and development for Business and Engineering apprentices in particular. The scheme has evolved over many years and is well established within the company and as such creates a great environment for apprentices to thrive. Some programmes run for upwards of 5 years and as such some work can be slow to move, but natural for the nature of the business.

Good sense of belonging

One of the first of it's kind and as such is well established within the company, extremely well organised and structured by a very dedicated team!

Dependent on line manager, but often if an apprentice is honest and can manage workload effectively managers will provide the right resources.
