Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As an apprentice Project Manager I support multiple project managers by coordinating schedules, organising tasks, tracking progress, managing documentation and communicating so that projects run smoothly and deadlines are met.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy the programme a lot as you are constantly doing something new and are always provided help when you need it.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed several skills including project reporting and communication. I have been exposed to project management platforms I would not normally use day to day. I have also improved my time management, literacy and adaptability through a range of project experiences.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Extremely organised, with a team dedicated to early careers that help support and guide individuals like myself starting up in their career.

A great amount of support is received whether that's my line manager, early careers team or project team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have a wide range of experiences to talk about in my studies that have helped me with various modules. Arcadis are also very mindful and respect your off the job hours that go towards university learning.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My studies help me by providing background information that help me understand my project/ construction terminology better.
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
Arcadis provides a wide range of social activities, charity and networking events. There is always a sense of community within the company.
