Overview of Role

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

4/5

Assisting Senior Project Managers with their role which includes risk management, writing meeting minutes, stakeholder engagement, creating trackers, writing processes.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I really enjoy how much I have learnt during my apprenticeship and that I can apply this on a day to day basis. I work with some great people who are always willing to help me learn and improve my skills.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Yes I have learnt how to manage a project, including several different project management techniques which I am combining to create my own style of project management. I am also learning different construction techniques that will help when managing construction projects.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

The university and workplace have very little communication to ensure that the both align, so often the two are not fully related.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I get a lot of support from my employer, especially during the end of term when exams are and assignments are due. I often get my colleagues to read through assignments as well and provide advice to help me improve.

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

2/5

My training provider does not provide me with enough support during lecture but they do offer other support if required although I have not needed to use this support.

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

4/5

The qualification gives me a fairly good understanding of the theory behind some aspects of my role in a more generic sense which I am starting to be able to apply to my role on a day to day basis.

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

I am part of the office social committee so I often get involved in organising themed social evenings in the office, an externally located summer party for families and also the Christmas party.
