Project Manager

About the apprenticeship programme

GH Display, in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), runs a Project Manager Degree Apprentice Programme. This programme allows you to earn while you learn, working full time with GH Display while studying towards a BSc (Hons) Project Management degree.

You’ll gain a nationally recognised qualification while developing the skills to manage projects, people, and processes effectively within a fast-paced commercial environment.

The apprenticeship blends academic learning with hands-on experience, giving you a strong foundation in project management principles, leadership, and operational practice.

About GH Display

Our workshop is located at PE7 3SJ, and because it is not serviced by public transport, applicants must be able to travel by private vehicle.
