My employer provides all support necessary to ensure smooth completion of the programme as well as additional support from all different types of situations to the best of their ability. This is achieved through the use of apprentice advisors within the workplace that you can enquire too for anything regarding the programme as well as any additional support required where they can pass you on the right team if they cannot provide the necessary support themselves.
