The structure of the apprenticeship seems to always be changing but then those changes are not communicated to us from the Early Careers team.

I receive alot of support from my Line Manager and placement team. Support from the Early Careers team can be limited.

University support again can be quite limited but it depends highly on who you are contacting.

Alot of the fundamental skills learnt through university apply strongly to my day to day role.

There are a variety of Stretches to get involved in.
