    Likes

    I like how the experience I have gained has made me grow as a person. I also like how opportunities have opened up during the period I have been here. I thought I was just going to be a regular apprentice, but I have become an Ambassador!

    I have nothing I want to change.

    Socially

    Hydro is a very social workplace. I really like it here. There are lots of nice people. They will help you if you need it and take care of you.

    Development

    I have learned a lot already in my time at Hydro. I have only been an apprentice since September 2020. I have developed in work and personally due to my job in hydro. I grow and learn something new with each passing day.

    Goals

    I want to work in Hydro for the rest of my life. I want to develop further in this profession, take further education and gain a lot of experience.

    Working in Hydro

    I would say that Hydro is a fantastic workplace. Both the people who work here and the work tasks are good. The tasks are very varied and you will never get bored!
