Windows Device Management and Bitlocker

Hello,
I've read through all the material I can. I am struggling to understand what is supposed to happen when you have Bitlocker settings enabled for the system drive.

Here is our situation. We are not joining the computers to a domain and users do not have a microsoft account. When they log into windows GCPW gives them a standard user account. On my two test machines despite having the settings enabled nothing happens regarding Bitlocker. Coming from a domain encironment I am already fairly familiar with Bitlocker so I assume this is because there is nowhere to store the recovery key and likely because they are not an administrative user. 

Should we just be enabling Bitlocker using the local admin account before distributing the computer?
Will it report in the admin console correctly if it is done this way?
What is everyone else doing in regards to Bitlocker?
