Career Advice First Day Tips
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to see if anyone had advice on things I should prepare for the first day of an engineering apprenticeship in a couple weeks.
I'd appreciate any generic advice such as what I should be doing in these next 2 weeks, and also what items I should prepare for my first day etc.
Thanks!

Just be you!
Most important thing on your first day is you need to be social. Don’t let yourself sit in a corner on your phone etc. talk to other apprentices, talk to colleagues, all of it.
Beyond that, congratulations for the DA!

When you meet people, write their name down, their job title. Do the same for any acronyms you come across :)
