I'm a Technical Apprentice.
What attracted you to applying for an apprenticeship at Venture 1?
The main thing that attracted me to applying for an apprenticeship at Venture 1 was the opportunity to learn from those who have years of experience in the field.

What do you hope to achieve during your first 6 months at Venture 1?
During my first 6 months at Venture 1 I hope to be able to gain as much knowledge as possible; becoming well acquainted with the most prevalent systems used in the company and better able to solve tasks allocated to the team.
What’s your impression of working at Venture 1 so far?
If I could use one word to express my impression of working at Venture 1 so far it would be “refreshing”. The team is welcoming, and the working environment feels constructive yet calm. It has made me as a new starter feel more confident to move forward, without feeling pressured or overly anxious (which can normally be the case when entering a new field for the first time).
