APPRENTICESHIP

The majority of these apprenticeships are not located in Bournemouth which

means that I will have to relocate. I plan to take up an apprenticeship after my
gap year and after I graduate from university because I will come out prepared
for my apprenticeship.
However, I think I will find relocating difficult since I will need to find a place to
live in that area, pay rent as well as financially providing for myself.
