The apprentice will be invited to sit in on meetings and weekly training activities and will be given various tasks that will utilise their knowledge based on their interests.

As the placement progresses over the following months, the apprentice will begin to work on projects where they will be given work to be able to apply and improve their knowledge. The apprentice will also be working on projects related to version control using Git, and will also be working on best practices development for TV and Testing.
