Alternatively you might be working in field operations where you will be travelling to customer sites to install, connect, maintain, test and repair equipment and services. Some apprentices might work for a web site design company helping to design and create websites for clients. All jobs will require you to have good people skills as well as the technical skills you’ll gain during your Apprenticeship.
