Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
Currently I am located at Furness College full time. The organisation is poor and unfortunately for the first several months of my apprenticeship I had no tutor for several lessons. This has put me very behind and I am the one having to now work additional hours due to the poor organisation.
