Yorkshire Water logo

Yorkshire Water manage the collection, treatment and distribution of water in Yorkshire, supplying around 1.24 billion litres of drinking water each day, as well as collect, treat and dispose of about one billion litres of wastewater safely back into the environment.

The requirements

Building on the success of delivering Provek’s 5-day PMQ short courses, Yorkshire Water wanted to progress to a structured professional development programme that developed both knowledge and experience.

Having worked with Provek for a number of years and enjoying high pass rates, they chose Provek to deliver the Level 4 Associate Project Manager apprenticeship.

Key to their requirements, was working with a training provider that they could trust to deliver quality training, support their learners diligently over a 13-month period and achieve high pass rates with a quality assured approach.

The solution

Provek’s Level 4 Associate Project Manager apprenticeship is a 13-month professional development programme that involves workshops, small study groups, personal coaching and guided self study.

Yorkshire Water initially delivered a closed programme, providing the opportunity to work with Provek to tailor the programme, involving internal subject matters experts to present on core topics from a Yorkshire Water perspective, adding further relevance through sharing their own experiences and lessons learned.

Following continued ongoing demand, Yorkshire Water now use Provek’s public programme, enrolling individuals as needed on a rolling monthly basis.

The results

Learners are required to apply the new knowledge learned within the workplace and provide evidence of this through written learning assignments. This approach signficantly helps to embed the learning, resulting in a positive impact on developing knowledge and experience, as well as competence and confidence.

This practical application has provided experience building, whilst at the same time providing the learner with coaching and support from their tutor and line manager.

The application of skills is reviewed by the tutor and line manager to ensure key learning is captured and any room for further growth is identified and supported both in their learning and workplace environment.

 

Ann Stanley, Funded Learning Lead

“Provek and Yorkshire Water have been working together for over 11 years to support and develop our project managers. In the past 12 months we have enrolled 28 apprentices and have been incredibly happy with the high number of exam pass rates to date.

Provek have worked with us through periods of organisational change and provided a flexible and supportive approach to each of our apprentices and their individual circumstances. Their governance and coordination is always at the forefront of their activity and we are kept informed of how our learners are progressing to implement any additional support needed.”
