Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
1/5
Project manager, manage medium to large scale projects for the ministry of defence, manage internal stakeholders and communicate with external equivalent project managers and site contacts, manage finance, report to senior leaders and govern projects to required standard
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
Good to speak to other apprentices who work in different businesses, and hearing shared experiences, but the course programme is repetitive and de motivating by year 3
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
1/5
A lot of learning and research to do, hard to apply to your role, the degree thinks you have a lot of creativity but big corporate companies who can afford these apprenticeships are highly bureaucratic
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
Poor, no overarching ‘year lead’ tutors join and leave the business regularly aswell as skills coaches, I had to re sit a module once and they gave me a resit date 2 weeks before submission as they didn’t load me on to the right module
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Line manager was poor, too stretched in their role, senior PM did a lot of the leg work for me to support me,
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
More as they years have gone by, but believe this is due to the course being announced to cease mid way through my apprenticeship
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Should have done the project management degree, professional management course not given me much to base delivery on
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
No I work from home 5 days a week,
