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

My apprenticeship with capella involves us choosing a problem within our team at work that doesn't work very well. We then have to use the six sigma process to work out how we are going to improve the issue going through different stages, define, measure and control and improve.
