Technology Apprentice Review

application support - mostly monitoring alerts and helping with user tickets.

I didn't have much technical knowledge before, so everything I've learnt about tech has been new.

There were several issues with this apprenticeship, but attempts were made to correct them. I enjoyed elements of it but there needs to be an increase in support.

My Manager and team were very busy, so there were difficulties finding the balance.

they weren't great - a few of our training coaches quit.

not all matched with my role so i havent used them, but they were useful information.

A lot of attempts were made in the beginning to get apprentices integrated and networking with senior management and some colleagues.

Yes

its a great company. My less-than-perfect experience as an apprentice wasn't unique, but others had great experience, it's just your luck of the draw with your team and their capacity to teach. It seems like a much more pleasant experience post-apprenticeship.

interest/passion for your function will help you get more out of the experience; you have to prepared to be self-sufficient and willing to research/self-teach to get the best out of it.
