A Few Words From a Degree Apprentice:
“1) Don't speak too little or too much make sure you speak and respond adequately.
2) Make sure to include people by using phrases such as e.g. Person X what did you think of my idea, linking to what Person X was saying, adding on to Person X. Just generally using people's names and bringing ideas using teamwork and not just your own knowledge.
3)Make sure to spend your time attempting all questions and always give a response even if you think it's wrong!”
Always great advice from our fellow apprentice network.
