Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I assisted the programme manager (Scotland), in the running of the programmes, on slope sessions and in classroom sessions. I went on various placements within a ski centre and another charity, learning various new skills and work experience. I also had the amazing once in a life time opportunity to get to go on trips abroad again learning new skills and work experience. This apprenticeship gave me a second chance and allowed me to gain various qualifications and once in a life time opportunities.
