MAIN BODY
Apprentice challenge
Analysis of the challenge
The completion of apprentice challenge required analysis of an educational institution in
a group setting. The educational institution selected for the report was London School of Science
and Technology. As part of the group I was given the task of analysing strengths and weaknesses
of the institution in relation to the British educational industry which gives the establishment
competitive advantage over it’s rivals. Apart from this, identification the growth opportunities
which can be exploited by the establishment were given to me. I was tasked with determining
threats which can hinder progress of the establishment or have negative impact on current
strategic positioning of the institution. I conducted investigation from online sources, books and
journals in order to complete this task.
Description of themes
This was a group task and the primary theme of this task was to enhance teamwork skills
and abilities which assist in ensuring effective coordination and collaboration with the members
of the group. In addition to this another theme was related to research and ability to undertake
various tasks required such as analysis, interpretation and evaluation of sources. It is important to
gain research skills as it helps ginning profound knowledge on various topics (Eshkulovich and
Tashbaevich, 2020).
