Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I throughly enjoy the programme and believe it is a great way to build on every day life skills. Throughout my apprenticeship my confidence has increased massively and I feel as if I am constantly learning new things. There is always an opportunity to further my knowledge on everything I have learnt, to ensure I am always up to date with any information.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
Throughout my regular day release sessions I always leave knowing so much more about my role. I can then bring that into the workplace to develop my knowledge and also share with everyone I work with. I have learnt first aid,safeguarding and so much more, if I ever want to know more about anything I know there is multiple resources I can use.
