To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I really enjoy working at my office, with my colleagues and is the best experience I have had so far with work or education. I don’t particularly enjoy the college said of it as I’ve never been an academic person.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt how to use excel and word more thoroughly. I have improved my concentration skills when going through documents. My knowledge of the construction industry has expanded in all kinds of ways.

Quite structured. My manager had exercises laid out for me to start on before using real life scenarios so I could practice. I get help from my colleagues whenever I need it

A lot. My manager’s are always there to help when I ask

Yes, sometimes organised by the apprentices and graduates or by Berkeley
