SECTION 2
Good morning everyone. My name's Janet Parker and I'm the human resources manager.
‘We're very happy to welcome you to your new apprenticeship. | hope that the next six months.
will be a positive and enjoyable experience for you.
I'd like to start with some general advice about being an apprentice. Most of you have very
litle or no experience of working for a big organisation and the first week or so may be quite
challenging. There will be a lot of new information to take in but don't worry too much about trying
to remember everything, The important thing is to check with someone if you're not sure w an
go - you'll find your supervisor is very approachable and won't mind explaining things or helping
YoU out. You're here to learn so make the most of that opportunity. Youll be spending time in
different departments during your first week so make an effort to talk to as many people as. are
‘possible about their work — youll make some new friends and find out lots of useful information.
‘As well as having a supervisor, youll each be assigned a mentor. This person will be someone
who's recently completed an apprenticeship and you'll meet with them on a weekly basis, Their
role is to provide help and support throughout your apprenticeship. Of course, this doesn't
‘mean they'll actually do any of your work for you ~ instead they'll be asking you about what. 13.
goals you've achieved so faf, 25 well as helping you to identify any areas for improvement. You
can also discuss your more long-term ambitions with them as well. qua
Now | just want to run through a few company policies for our apprenticeship scheme with
you... Most importantly, the internet. As part of your job you'll be doing some research online
