coordinating communciations, supporting the delivery of work packages, contributing to board papers and gathering paperwork for governance, leading on budget monitoring and all procurement activities. Also some experience supporting stakeholder engagement.
budget monitoring, forecasting, procurement skills all developed in this role as I had limited previous experience. Working in a 100% project focused environment has also been great experience
Thoroughly enjoyed it, found the portfolio very challenging towards the end but had great support from my coach to push me through and over the line.
good balance between structure and self-directed study - I always felt that my coach was on hand to have spontaneous meetings too, particularly at more challenging or stressful times during the programme (e.g. before an exam)
20% off the job learning is part of contract, but it was sometimes difficult to protect this time despite blocking out in diary. Challenging colleague perceptions for a better awareness and understanding of the time and effort of an apprenticeship would have helped this.
incredible amount, I couldn't have asked for anymore. I was provided with extensive documentation and templates, I had 1:1 support on a frequent basis, and also had the opportunity to attend group revision classes which were very useful.
I have gained so much more knowledge of project management through the qualification, and I have been able to put these new skills into practice almost immediately in my current work role, so I have been able to see the instant value of gaining these new skills.
I work at a large organisation so there are lots of opportunities for professional networking events (lunch and learn sessions, workshops, training and development courses) - all of which have been useful in building new working bonds.
Yes
good opportunities to develop, stable job, fair pay on a grading scale, good benefits of annual leave, good location, positive work culture, supportive attitude to disabled/sick staff
