As a software engineer apprentice I work on company projects that use high level code. I currently am working on an internal website using typescript and react framework. Day to day includes working on bug fixes to existing code and adding new features where needed.
Learned and developed coding skills in various different languages, some from work and some from the modules on the university course.
I enjoy my program and how flexible the work and time is as well as how friendly and useful my colleagues are.
My program is very well structured with regular calls between university and work to make sure everything is going to plan and helping with anything if it is not.
My employer helps as much as it can as long as it is within their control and capability.
Receive a good amount of support and communication from my training provider however at times some modules are better than others, depending on how clear the assignments are as well as the lecturers delivering them.
My qualification gives me a good background of many different technologies and skills that could be useful to me in the future or to understand certain concepts, however only certain modules are directly useful to my day to day work as some do not relate at all.
Depending from office to office, some offices such as Adastral park have more sports and fun bonding activities whereas others such as London have more professional networking and social events.

BT group look after their apprentices well are are quite flexible when it comes to time and work as well as having a fair work-life balance. Apprentices are also guaranteed a job after the apprenticeship given they pass everything which is not offered by many degree apprenticeships.
Having a good/professional looking linked in profile can help when applying as an apprentice for BT, but most importantly be yourself and do not stress during the interviews and assessments centres.
