 I chose to do an apprenticeship because I was a deemed a kinesthetic learner at school, so I preferred doing all the hands-on subjects and learning with my hands. It was a great alternative to a full-time theory education because you get to come into the workplace. You can see what you enjoy and don't enjoy and you can adapt and move around the department to suit yourself. You get to build your personal and technical skills so you're more employable at the end of it. It would be great to win because it would give recognition to myself and my mentors and employers, and it would also say a big thank you to my mum and dad for supporting me and my dad for passing down your skills because they've always told me to make them proud.
