I create a variety of digital medias for different people and areas across the Port Talbot site as well as others. I create media such as posters, E-banners, videos, adverts. I also help with knowledge and development of digital media for other members of the communications team.

I couldn’t enjoy my apprenticeship any more than I already do. It’s a dream come true for me.

I am given the opportunity to be independent when it comes to gaining my qualification. However, my tutor is available to hear from me and supports me whenever I need any support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I believe that my job role and apprenticeship are working hand in hand as my apprenticeship helps me enhance my educational skills, whereas my job role allows me at the same time to develop my professional behaviour.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There is a variety of community run activities and networking events which I cannot wait to be a part of.
