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

    • As an apprentice craftsperson, I do my training both onsite and at the training centre. At the training centre we learn about the equipment we will be working with onsite and how it works, then we are able to put what we have learnt into practice onsite, working with experienced craftsperson's to gain experience with the equipment and further our knowledge.
