What are some common challenges Apprentice Administrators face during their training period?

Apprentice Administrators often encounter challenges such as balancing hands-on administrative tasks with ongoing learning requirements and adapting to new workplace technologies or systems. Managing time effectively can be tricky, especially when juggling coursework deadlines with day-to-day office responsibilities.
