My role as a project manager within the BBC consitis of supporting huge projects that affect both the business and the public globally. My placement sits within the transfromation office where we focus on business change and improvement, meaning alot of my work is people based.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
The programme and the experience is great, and its something you'd struggle to find from other apprenticeships. The amount of opportunities i've had through the apprenticeship is something I never expected. I also could not believe the impact of my work, and how much it contributes to the development of projects within the portfolio
