  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My apprenticeship involves 6-month placements in different areas of the company. My current role is in Technology Sponsorship as a 'Sponsor' which is essentially an internal client - I create the requirements for projects TfL is working on. Essentially, I tell project managers what I want done and they deliver it.
