You’ll likely perform inventory checks, maintain a clean work area, and gradually take on more complex projects under supervision. Apprentices are typically involved in both hands-on work and customer interactions, providing opportunities to develop technical and communication skills. The structure is often mentorship-driven, allowing for continuous feedback and professional growth as you acquire new competencies in the trade.
