Project management degree apprentice Review

Working with internal and external stakeholders, managing time and logistics of deliveries, using tool sets and systems to produce reports and tracking

I have increased in competancy of all apprenticeship standards, i have evidence of good soft skills and additional confidence, i have gained connections and supportive networks

I enjoy the rotation of placement and the support offered to us, I enjoy the learning and Uni side much less, lectures are not engaging and support offered to us is minimal and not helpful

There are clear miscommunications in the 'National programme'. In efforts to standardise the delivery and expectations of apprentices within BAE, we are now all part of the same programme but have different things communicated to us and there is clear rivalry and lack of understanding between the business sites.

From BAE itself, we have clear lines of communication and approachable support networks.

The support form the uni is limited and often unhelpful, lecturers share they are unprepared and unaware of the content. The also share that they mark depending on their mood and often comment on our behaviour at uni, blaming the apprentices for not being engaged when it is the lack of quality content which causes that.

The qualification, incorporating the PMQ directly reflects and backs up my work. I have already used skills from uni in the workplace.

There are stretch projects however they are often a working group rather than a social.

Yes

The opportunities are there, you just have to work hard and ensure you are seen

Ask intelligent questions and be mindful of the environment. The company is huge but everyone knows everyone which can make networking really easy but can also ensure any negative opinions of you are spread.
