  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • The apprenticeship provide details me with a lot of insight into the real world and application of my previous knowledge and experience of the council Into action. I was supported from start to finish in my role with people there to guide me throughout my stay and help me better my career and my experiences by letting me branch out into different roles within the council. This benefited my choice to go into further study whilst also carrying out part time work with the council to better my knowledge about the way the system works.
