A useful practical session for our apprentices, focused on nutrition, energy and making better food choices while working out in the field.
Some of the group put their previous hospitality experience to good use, helping prepare a homemade bolognese for everyone.
Developing great engineers is about more than technical training. It also means giving apprentices the practical knowledge and confidence to look after themselves while travelling and working on the road.
Thanks to everyone who got involved!
