For me, the apprenticeship is nothing like I expected it to be, it's much, much better. Not only have I been given a place in my company where I feel like I am a valued contributor to our wider goals, I also have been supported by both my colleagues at work and by the staff at UWL who seem genuinely committed to seeing me succeed and helping me to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed later in life.
