V03167 - Degree Apprentice Project Management

The Project Manager degree apprenticeship is an excellent opportunity for individuals who want to develop high-level project management knowledge, behaviours and skills that enable you to work within or lead a project team. From day one, you will be trusted to deliver and oversee on projects, juggling tasks that enhance your organisational skills, interpersonal skills, strategic planning, and adaptability.  
You will see first-hand how theoretical concepts like risk, stakeholder and resource management, are critical to delivering successful projects. 
Your university experience will serve as the backbone of your apprenticeship, providing you with a breadth of knowledge to apply directly to your work.  

Engaging lectures, immersive studies and working collaboratively will enhance your analytical skills and equip you with the latest tools and methodologies in project management. You will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned to real-world projects, gaining confidence and creativity in making decisions that impact the success of the project.

Working at BAE Systems you will be supported in a nurturing environment by experienced professionals and skills coaches who will mentor you and offer invaluable insights into how successful teams operate. Through active participation in meetings and discussions, you will learn how to navigate complex challenges, manage expectations, and contribute meaningfully to projects.  

Specific activities could include:
Your day-to-day activities will be varied and exciting, offering you a broad exposure to the entire project lifecycle. You will set project goals, create timelines, monitor progress, and work closely with cross-functional teams. You will play a role in tracking budgets, managing resources, and identifying risks before they become issues. On top of that, you will use project management software, such as Microsoft Project, to keep everything on track, ensuring projects stay within scope and on schedule. 

By the end of your apprenticeship, you will have more than just a qualification. You will have a rich portfolio of experiences, a deep understanding of both the theory and practice of project management, and the confidence to be innovative in a transformation environment.
