Meet Jess – Associate Project Manager Apprentice
My day-to-day life involves running meetings, creating, and presenting reports, and ensuring everyone in the project knows what they are doing, and why. As well as this I must complete my apprenticeship work which consists of independent research which links to my portfolio.
The most enjoyable part of my apprenticeship is that I’m part of a team that make me feel so welcome and integrated. Straight away, there was an ethos of no silly questions and being able to ask for help and people really wanting to help.
I’m looking forward to having more knowledge and understanding of my role, as well as being given more responsibility. With this, I hope I will have more confidence in myself to make decisions. I’m also excited to have the opportunity to gain further qualifications outside of my apprenticeship.

Meet Dylan – A Software Tester Apprentice
I joined RWEST (RWE Supply & Trading) at the end of July last year. I was happy to get a place in the company after working hard to secure a place at RWE. Since then, I have met nice people, I have used many applications that I would never have used before, and I have learnt new skills that will help me pass this apprenticeship.
My days as an apprentice include working on a project called ‘BOCAr-X’. I take part in the daily stand-ups and report on my work. In addition, I start my day with the daily check of our RPA servers. Currently, I am working hard on revising a test automation framework for a latest version of BOCAr-X and creating new scenarios for it.
Trying to get an apprenticeship is tough since you face a lot of competition from others who might seem better than you – I’ve learnt that the hard way. If you’re looking to get an apprenticeship, secure a place early before vacancies are filled and focus on the industry you want to work in. Also, show that you want to work there in your interview and in the assessments you do when you apply. Try to stand out from the rest. You have more chance of getting your job if you are passionate about it and work hard for it.
