Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I attend college once a week and we work on our essays to gain a better understanding of skills, behaviour and knowledge of my apprenticeship. My colleague who has now completed his apprenticeship also went down this path and I feel it works well that I do the same.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive endless amounts of support from my line manager, whenever I need help she is always on hand. She checks on me every morning to check I am ok with my daily workload. I couldn't ask for a more helpful team.

The group is very large and has a number of great companies. I know a few people who work here and they also really enjoy it. The progression is very good. The majority of our site directors have joined as apprentices and worked their way up.
