Overview of Role

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

5/5

I work on the central Bid Management team, my day to day is very different as no day is the same. It ranges from organising and facilitating meetings, ensuring that all documents that need to be updated, maintained and completed are done so.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I really enjoy the programme that I am on. The development opportunities are fantastic and I never feel that I am not being challenged. There is always something to do and everyone in the business is supportive with whatever you want to do/ try next.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I studied project management at university and doing this role has enhanced my skills in this. During my time at Babcock, I have been given my own projects to manage and this has given me valuable experience.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

The programme is very well structured, there is always communication between the Unviersity and the central O&D team within Babcock are always available to raise any concerns with.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

Support from Babcock is brilliant. Managers and the central O&D team are supportive with workloads and giving time off to attend lectures, exams and study.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

We have at least 2 contact days a month with Aston university. These are either MSc modules or modules to complete to go towards the Degree Apprenticeship. The team at Aston are very approachable and always contactable.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

I think that going through the modules and doing the reading that goes along with the module gives me a deeper knowledge on what I am doing and allows me to perform better.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

There were many networking events pre-COVID, this has understandably stopped for the time being. There is a great community of graduates and apprentices and there is always social activities. There are sports teams to join dependant on location.
