Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

no, and i think this could be imrpovd, there are not many activities or social events for apprentices. there are a few networking evnts but its more for everyone and is very broad not really towards just apprentices and i think this would be a great thing to get working oon
