Project Manager Review

Enablement team within boat delivery. I interact with planning teams, networking and other project functions as well as the trade level who build and carry out the work planned. We enable the trades to accomplish their tasks, through fire fighting, normal day to day tasks etc.

I believe some aspects are more structured than others, university can often be unstructured and disorganised at times. Due to the nature of the business with hundreds of different placements, skills coaches and information there is further disorganisation throughout as there can be more nuance to the programme than expected.

I think that this also depends on the placements you get. As you spend 1 year within each placement rotation your team will be the main focal point for support during this year, often overriding skills coaches and early careers based on how much you interact with your placement team. This means support is less standardised throughout, speaking from personal experience both my placements have been poor with support in terms of the apprenticeship and often workload as well compared to others I have heard about.

For the PMQ we had been sessions staggered throughout this year (currently second year) with a provider who could give us individual feedback and attentive help. As for university we receive levels of support when asked for.

I do not recognise the qualification as a great help within my role. Trying to take information learned from the PMQ and translate it into my current role is applicable however due to the nature of my role is not used, needed or necessarily relevant.

Yes

The benefits, pay and rewards are extremely good. Pair this with the ability to always gain further training and development if you are in the right environment.
