# The Tea

Not sure what I wanted to do but found this apprenticeship a year ago and haven't regretted it one bit! This apprenticeship is the bomb – building shopfronts and seeing brands come to life, every project's a fresh challenge. The crew's tight, we push each other to level up, and my skills are skyrocketing. If you're looking for a hands-on career where you can be really creative, shopfitting is where it's at!
