I have learnt the basics of data analysis and SQL so far as we have only just started. I have developed my Excel skills too.

Not very organised, constantly changing, making it difficult to manage around work

My line manager and head of apprenticeships are very supportive and will help where they can

The training provider helps when required, but does not overly feel supportive

At the moment because we are so early on in the apprenticeship it is hard to judge this appropriately.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Not really
