Working in a team to keep the system flowing smoothly. I also enjoyed getting out my comfort zone and the variety of work I have been given.
What advice would you give to anyone else considering an Apprenticeship?
It was a brilliant opportunity – opening many different pathways. It’s a slow start with the theory part so keep that in mind but once that’s complete it is very hands on with the work placement. If you like me prefer learning while doing something then go for it!
