    Level 3 Business Administrator Apprentice

    "The support Everything Managed have given me during my apprenticeship is incredible as I never feel like I’m on my own, and if I’m ever struggling with my tasks, I know that I can ask for help. I often have one-to-one meetings with my line manager and my Skills Trainer from Newcastle College about my learning and my progress and performance at work, which helps me to know what I’m doing well and what I can improve upon."
