I assume a support role for the team while taking on some management responsibilities in the E1 project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My daily tasks range from updating various spreadsheets to communicating with discipline leads to get updates on planned activities. I identify bottlenecks and help facilitate resolutions. I also respond to correspondence and attend meetings, ensuring I follow through on actions. In addition, I have been involved in managing change and organising site visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside others in my team, our goal is to ensure the programme stays on track and is compliant with processes and standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:83px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-noir-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-why-i-chose-an-apprenticeship\" style=\"font-size:32px\">Why I chose an apprenticeship<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose an apprenticeship because I felt it was the most accessible pathway into the UK labour market, as I am an immigrant. At the time, I did not have work experience in the UK and it made job hunting quite challenging. The contents of the apprenticeship also seemed really interesting to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I hold a degree in Mass Communication, and I have previously worked as a Customer Relations Officer in a bank, where I resolved issues, managed emergencies and built customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My interest in Project Management grew after a friend introduced me to the field. I went on to complete training in project management and business analysis, including a placement with a digital consulting firm where I shadowed a PM and supported the team with non-critical but relevant tasks. My desire to become a Project Manager strengthened after I helped deliver some new recruitment software for an agency. I enjoyed the challenging yet rewarding nature of the role and its alignment with my people-centred background and transferrable skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the PlanBEE Rail\u202fapprenticeship scheme, I benefit from rotating through different consortium organisations for six-month placements while studying for a Level 4 qualification in Project Management. I was really pleased to be assigned to SYSTRA in the second half of my first year to gain hands-on experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-asked-racheal\" style=\"font-size:32px\">We asked Racheal&#8230;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-griplusclair-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:97px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-have-your-technical-skills-developed-throughout-your-apprenticeship\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How have your technical skills developed throughout your apprenticeship?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few months, my technical skills have definitely improved through my involvement in the programme. I have gained a deeper understanding of various aspects of rail projects, industry terminology, and the use of different project management tools. This includes Excel spreadsheets and trackers for updates and reporting, ProjectWise for document management, and SharePoint for sharing and gathering information. Participating in meetings has enhanced my knowledge of industry standards and processes for project control, quality and benefit realisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-have-you-grown-personally-through-doing-an-apprenticeship\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How have you grown personally through doing an apprenticeship?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I have gained confidence in my ability to sit in meetings, provide updates and take actions, while also following through on them. I feel very comfortable unearthing blockers and facilitating resolutions. My communication skills, and ability to use technical terms to convey information, have also improved. I no longer feel nervous when speaking to colleagues at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I have taken on the responsibility of coordinating site visits and ensuring all paperwork is completed in line with business safety standard, which is definitely a reflection of my growth in confidence. So far, I have been on site twice with the design team and hope to organise more site visits before I leave SYSTRA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My apprenticeship experience has made me a better team member, whilst also giving me confidence in other areas of my life. I plan to keep building on these skills by taking on more challenging assignments and continuing to learn from colleagues and mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-advice-would-you-offer-to-someone-who-s-unsure-if-an-apprenticeship-is-right-for-them\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What advice would you offer to someone who\u2019s unsure if an apprenticeship is right for them?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, I would recommend researching the different programmes available, attend job fairs, and ask questions about each programme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, try to speak to current apprentices, graduates or even managers to hear about their experiences and what they have gained from doing an apprenticeship. This approach will help you make an informed decision on whether an apprenticeship is right for you or not. It\u2019s also important to consider your own learning style and career ambitions, as these should guide your choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>An apprenticeship provides a range of benefits &#8211; you will gain useful experience that will help you further your career. On top of that, you get paid, obtain a qualification and get to explore your interests and strengths. You also get the opportunity to discover different areas of the programme to find a niche that suits your career goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, be aware that apprenticeships require you to commit time and effort, and you must have a willingness to learn and adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-does-systra-stand-out-as-a-great-place-to-work\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How does SYSTRA stand out as a great place to work?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>SYSTRA stands out as a great place to work because of its global presence, allowing colleagues to work with people around the world on some major transport and infrastructure projects. The company\u2019s workforce has a good mix of employees from different cultural backgrounds, demonstrating its genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The company also invests in employee growth by offering training opportunities to grow technical, leadership and soft skills. Mentoring is a big focus at SYSTRA \u2013 early careers colleagues have access to experienced mentors to support their personal and professional development. SYSTRA\u2019s involvement with the PlanBEE Rail apprenticeship scheme is a perfect example of their commitment to learning and development, and providing opportunities for people to get into the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-s-your-favourite-thing-about-your-job-right-now\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What\u2019s your favourite thing about your job right now?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What I appreciate most is the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues around the business.

How should our industry contribute?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>An entirely green future for me would mean a transition to a circular economy, where human activities produce minimal carbon emissions and waste to the environment by integrating the principle of reuse and recycle in the production or use of materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this future, the transport industry would play a vital role by committing to sustainability goals. This can be achieved by setting carbon emission targets in the design, construction, operations and maintenance of mobility solutions and infrastructure using eco-friendly materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry must foster collaboration across sectors to drive eco-friendly innovations, encourage behavioural change, and support social inclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Through these efforts, our industry can make significant contribution to a fully green future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-you-can-spend-your-lunchbreak-with-anyone-you-admire-who-would-you-choose\" style=\"font-size:24px\">You can spend your lunchbreak with anyone you admire &#8211; who would you choose?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I would choose Mrs Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the current Director General of the World Trade Organization. She is the first woman, and first African, to hold this position. She is a global leader \u2013 recognised for promoting economic development, improving transparency in public finances and leading efforts to resolve global health challenges. She is truly a role model for me \u2013 spending time with her would help me gain insight into what her motivations are. I aspire to make an impactful difference in my own career, just as she has done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-is-your-next-big-career-goal\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What is your next big career goal?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My next big career goal is to lead and successfully deliver major transport projects.
