Project Management Degree Apprenticeship

Getting things to happen how they should, when they should, safely and within budget is both a science and an art. On this degree level apprenticeship programme, you’ll learn exactly how it’s done. As a Project Management Degree Apprentice, you’ll work on real projects, ensuring we meet time, cost, and quality requirements. From cutting-edge design and manufacturing to in-service support and innovative capability enhancement, you’ll be responsible for delivering some of our most business-critical projects from start to finish.  You’ll develop both the technical expertise and essential soft skills needed to excel in project management. This includes honing your presentation, communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills, as well as advanced planning techniques. Throughout the programme, you’ll put these skills into practice by leading multi-skilled teams, managing stakeholder expectations, assessing risks, and navigating the complexities of delivering large-scale projects.

Training:

Upon successfully completing your apprenticeship, you will earn a BSc in Project Management from the University of Plymouth, along with a professional qualification in Project Management at IPMA Level D (or equivalent). Additionally, you will become eligible for membership with the Association for Project Management (APM).

Your training will involve a combination of classroom learning and work placements. Every fortnight, you will engage in two days of learning with the university, which will include a mix of in-person teaching, online sessions, and self-directed learning. The remainder of your time will be spent onsite at Babcock, where you will gain practical experience and learn the specifics of your role.

Training Outcome:

It’s hard to beat the variety of fantastic opportunities and business experiences you’ll receive. You can expect real world encounters and exposure to exciting projects that will really help you navigate where you want to take your career.

Plus, when you join us, you’ll be automatically enrolled onto our Apprentice Development Programme. Through a series of digital and face to face sessions, presented by wellbeing and performance experts and our external partners, we will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to thrive and perform at your very best on your programme and beyond.
