4. How valued do you feel by Premier Foods?

Premier foods attach a higher degree of importance to this training and keen to acquire some benefits from it. All the apprentice gave a presentation of activities about three weeks ago and all the senior managers were there to listen and give feedbacks. I think this is a way of telling us that they are interested in what we are doing.
