Life Skills to Help You Thrive
Apprenticeships teach more than job skills — they help you grow as a person. You’ll learn to manage money, use digital tools like email and Teams, speak up and take feedback, and handle new challenges with confidence. You’ll also understand your workplace rights, like your hours, holiday allowance, and who to ask for help.

These sessions are designed to develop the practical skills that help you thrive in the workplace. You’ll learn how to prepare for interviews, improve communication, manage your money, build digital confidence, and make the most of tools such as Gen AI. The talks provide strategies and tips that you can apply immediately to your apprenticeship and future career.
