Helps during the some assigned tasks. But the major issue is after completing this apprentice, there is no role for project manager to get into. I will have to roll into some other role eventually.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes, lot of social activities around the office space.
