Rating

8.8/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

A project management degree apprenticeship encapsulates what it means to be a PM along side what it takes, learning the theory and putting into practice, monitoring and governing projects to leading and implementing the desired outcomes a project aims to deliver. No 2 days are the same.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have developed endless new skills, even if its just development of IT skills, I have gained confidence in taking to new people, managing my own work packages and many many more competencies this degree apprenticeship aims to instil in you.
