Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role involves providing support to senior project managers with task including minute taking, project/programme reporting, action tracking, risk management, document management, liaison with stakeholders and change management.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my apprenticeship very much due to the support provided by the university as well as the company I work for. Working alongside degree study certainly enhances my knowledge and ability to apply learning to workplace scenarios.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
My ability to navigate and utilise Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, Word and Project has been improved. My ability to record concise and accurate meeting minutes has also been enhanced, as well as my confidence with reporting to large groups of people.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My apprenticeship is very well structured, with clear timelines and goals established. Regular check ins are conducted to assess progress against anticipated timelines.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive an excellent amount of support from my employer, from 121 check ins on a regular basis and group development opportunities across the business.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive plenty of support from training provider, enabling as much or as little interaction with module leaders and tutors as preferred. Regular 121 mandatory check ins are conducted with an assigned apprenticeship outcomes officer to ensure continual support throughout study.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
There are definitely elements of study that I can directly apply to my workplace, however a large amount of study material provides insight to other roles within the industry I work in, which is helpful for context, although not entirely relevant to my specific role.
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
Yes, plenty of social events, fitness events, group development and personal development opportunities available at all times and I am continually encouraged to partake, and often also host.
