How I Landed a HSEQ Project Administrator Role After RKY Careers Project Management and Business Analysis Bootcamp
Becoming a new mum brings immense joy, but it also presents challenges, especially when it comes to returning to work. Faith, one of our Alumni, found herself at this crossroads after pausing her career to care for her baby.
She faced the daunting task of re-entering the job market in the UK, a new country where she had no established network and little knowledge of the local job landscape.
Every job listing filled her with questions. Could she compete in this fast-paced environment? Would her previous experience translate to profitable roles here?
Faith desired a fulfilling position that offered stability and growth, but balancing that ambition with her responsibilities as a mother felt overwhelming. However, her motivation to move forward burned bright, and she was determined to set a strong example for her child.
Recommendations to Join the Project Management and Business Analysis Bootcamp
One evening, while discussing her career aspirations with her husband, he mentioned RKY Careers’ Project Management and Business Analysis Bootcamp.
Having successfully completed a bootcamp with RKY Careers the previous year, he had transitioned into the UK job market, gaining confidence and valuable skills. Witnessing his transformation inspired her to explore the same path.
With her husband’s encouragement and the reassurance of a trusted recommendation, Faith decided to take the plunge and join the Project Management and Business Analysis Bootcamp.
The prospect of gaining practical, in-demand skills excited her, and she realised this could be the opportunity she needed to build a fulfilling career while managing her family life.
Balancing Motherhood and the Bootcamp
Diving into the bootcamp proved both exhilarating and challenging. Juggling late-night feedings with her study sessions tested her resilience, but she embraced the challenge, knowing each lesson brought her closer to her goals.
She committed fully to the learning process and was determined to succeed despite the obstacles.
From the outset, the facilitators broke down complex project management and business analysis concepts into clear, actionable lessons.
They covered essential tools such as Excel, risk assessment, and project mapping, focusing on real-world applications.
Each hands-on project allowed her to immediately apply what she learned, reinforcing her understanding and building her confidence.
The flexible schedule enabled her to balance her studies with her responsibilities at home, making the process manageable.
The sense of community among her classmates further motivated her. Many were also parents or individuals transitioning careers, and the shared experiences created a supportive environment.
She no longer felt like just a mum on a career break; she was actively building her skills and preparing for a meaningful career in project management.
