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

Overall my job role can be tough as there are different challenges everyday. However, this is made better as I have a good team around me that I can have a laugh with. I have many responsibilities which have to be maintained daily.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have developed communication skills as well as management skills massively. My order management is at a high level due to the skill I am currently doing.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It is enjoyable to an extent as the work is very hard. The thing that keeps me going is knowing I will be on a better wage at the end of the apprenticeship and I will also be competent in 3 different skills.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There isn't much, we've been on team lunches to help team bonding. However, there are many things that are planned and being worked on.
