The support I receive from my employer is great, I am given days weekly to focus solely on my apprenticeship. If I struggle they are available to help me

the support from my training provider has been great, during the course of my apprenticeship my original tutor changed job roles, but the transition from my old to new tutor went very smoothly

5/5
I feel this helps me very well, It has given me a chance to grow within my role and learn new management styles and best ways to deal with anything that may arise.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
At my store, the main extra-curricular activity would be that we do a lot of charity work for Ronald McDonalds House Charity ( RMHC ), we go to the RMHC house and clean, we provide hampers for the kitchens so that they dont run out of supplies. I feel we as a business could do more.
