Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
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.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy my programme, it is a very different, and hard route to take but the benefits and sense of satisfaction over write all the hard work and long days
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
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.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I was part of the first ever cohort on this degree, so things took a while to understand, however no the plans and actions are clear and the next steps understood.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
The employer offer formal support once every 8 weeks, however support is always there if needed, mentally, or physically, support is always available
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
we have gained a lot of support, once again the support is always there if you reach out and ask
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Not all degree aspects help in a day to day, due to the way rolls Royce operate, but having the industry standard can help provoke new ways of thinking which has proven useful
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
we have many rolls Royce teams, such as sport, we also have language classes and many local things in each team you may work
