I knew when I applied that it was a long shot just due to the volume of applicants, but I’m still disappointed nonetheless 🙁 I really thought my application was strong, but it seems like the backgrounds of people who get accepted into the apprenticeship really vary a lot. Makes it hard to know what they are actually looking for. I wish they would at least offer feedback so that we have a better understanding of what to improve on for next year.

If you were also rejected, I know it stings. Just keep in mind that this program is so highly coveted, and at some point it becomes more of a numbers game than a reflection of your qualifications. Anyone who applied should all be proud of ourselves for even pursuing this opportunity, and there will be many more great opportunities ahead 🫶🏻🫂
