Running alongside your current role, over two years you’ll split your time between on-the-job and classroom-based learning. Getting to grips with project management basics at the same time as working closely with Co-op colleagues, you’ll build your skills across the project lifecycle. And when you’ve mastered your apprenticeship, there’s the opportunity to put your learning into practice and manage your own projects.
It's a challenging programme which requires commitment and ability to balance your work and studies. To help you to succeed you’ll get 20% of your working hours away from the day job to complete your apprenticeship, as well as support from your line manager and a personal coach.
