She expressed a particular interest in the Painting element of the course and sought to undertake work experience in this field. After completing, the first week of this work placement Bridget was offered a full time Apprenticeship with the employer. Bridget has grasped at this opportunity with both hands and has since commenced her Apprenticeship in Painting.
