We always know when our uni day is, which allows mentors to be able to organise work for me to undertake. Regular meetings from the Apprenticeship team gives me constant support and and advice if needs be. I am constantly in contact with the apprenticeship team at Capula for any support/ queries.

There are 2 members of staff at Capula which oversee the apprenticeship programme which are always on standby if I need anything. I have a mentor which I shadow and who supports me in my everyday role.

I have a mentor at uni which deals with all the off the job hours and portfolio of evidence based work. She is very helpful and is knowledgeable as she has many years of experience. If I need her, she always replies quickly.

we have done many team building activities for the apprentices and have recently been on a residential trip too. There are many opportunities to network with staff, clients and at events. There are many social events within work to build relationships with staff
