Well structured with regards to the learning and knowledge but not as well structured when it comes to deadlines, projects and support in transitioning from apprenticeship/full time role internally.

Manager as learning mentor has been exceptional, allowed to take time away from work if needed to balance apprenticeship learning with my role.

Great support from learning mentor with regards to knowledge and coursework.

Lots of practical experience and application of knowledge. I strongly believe I would not be able to perform sufficiently in my role without the apprenticeship.

Lots of extra curricular and support groups, fundraising as groups and lots of lunchtime activities.
