So far with my apprenticeships I have spent all my time in college studying before actually going into work but has been a good learning experience. With plenty of work to do you are kept busy thought your time at college.

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

Due to being away at college my employer reduces the costs as much as possible for our time and since we spend little time at home reduces the amount of money spent. Due to this the salary can go further.

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

since I am at college i dont get much chance to get involved outside of work further along in my apprenticeships when in work their should be more opportunities.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to SSE?

When applying to SSE remain patient as the application process is long due to the amount of applicants. If succesful they will quickly try to sort everything out for you in terms of equipment, training and getting you set up for work.
