L6 Project Management Apprentice Review

In my role as an L6 Project Management Apprentice and Scrum Master, I support my Agile team by facilitating key ceremonies, helping remove blockers, and ensuring clear communication between the Product Owner and the team. Day‑to‑day, I focus on promoting Agile ways of working, maintaining team organisation, tracking progress, and driving continuous improvement. Alongside delivery responsibilities, I am also developing my project management skills through structured learning, training, and hands‑on experience across projects.

My programme is very well‑structured, with a clear balance between university studies and on‑the‑job learning. We receive a lot of training and support from the Early Careers team, which really helps with my development and makes the programme feel organised and easy to follow. The structure allows me to apply what I learn directly into my role, and the work–study balance complements each other really well.

I receive a strong level of support from my employer. The Early Careers team provides regular guidance, training, and check‑ins, and my manager and colleagues are always available to help whenever I need it. There’s a good balance of independence and support, and I feel well backed in both my role and my apprenticeship development.

I receive a good level of support from my training provider when working towards my qualifications. They offer structured guidance, regular check‑ins, and clear resources that help me stay on track with my learning. The support is consistent and easy to access, which makes balancing my studies alongside my role much more manageable.

My qualification helps me perform better in my role because the learning directly links to the skills I use day‑to‑day. The structured guidance, resources, and regular support from my training provider help me build a stronger understanding of project management and Agile practices, which I can apply straight into my work as a Scrum Master. Overall, it gives me more confidence, improves the quality of my work, and supports my ongoing development.

Yes

Yes, I would recommend Vodafone to a friend. The culture is supportive, the Early Careers team provides great development opportunities, and there are plenty of chances to get involved in extra‑curricular activities like the Youth Committee. The balance between work, learning, and personal growth is really well structured, and the environment encourages you to build your skills, gain experience, and progress in your career. Overall, it’s a positive and rewarding place to work.
