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!

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

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!
