Q1 – What is the most important thing you have learnt on your apprenticeship?

For me personally, the most important thing I learned was the importance of getting placements with different departments. In particular, my pressure management placement. I came into that having little knowledge about pressure management and came out with a good understanding. 

Q2 – How has / will the apprenticeship support your job role?

I think the apprenticeship has made me more confident as a person which has then made me more confident in my job role. This has been shown in my leakage performance figures. 

Q3 – How has / will the apprenticeship support your career?

The apprenticeship has allowed me to gain valuable work experience with different departments which is important. 

Q4 – How well did Watertrain support you during the delivery of the apprenticeship?

I feel like Watertrain have supported me very well during the apprenticeship. My Learning Development Coach, Paul regularly contacts me to make sure that I am up to date with the work and asks if I require any support, which I appreciate.
